Dhaka Bureau: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said, Bangladesh will be smart, developed and digital Bangladesh. What the father of the nation wanted. He said this while attending the winter presidential parade of Bangladesh Naval Academy in Chittagong on Thursday (December 22) morning as the chief guest. Earlier, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina left Dhaka by helicopter for Chittagong to attend the winter presidential parade in the morning.
On the occasion of the establishment of rights in the maritime boundary, the Prime Minister said that after 1975, no government has established the rights in the maritime boundary or taken any such initiative. After coming to power in 1996, we took the initiative in this regard. Later, after forming the government in 2008, we established rights in the maritime boundary by negotiating with India and Myanmar.
He further said, I want to equip the navy with modern equipment and give utmost importance to training. The Awami League government has also done infrastructure development for training.
Sheikh Hasina said, our navy is playing a glorious role in the UN peacekeeping mission. That is, the culture of peace proposal that we raised has been passed.
The prime minister also said that we have given enough opportunities to our navy. For example, the security of the Bangabandhu Tunnel under the Karnaphuli River in Chittagong, which we are constructing, has been completely entrusted to the Navy. Because it is an important establishment. And this type of tunnel is being built for the first time in South Asia. Moreover, in our south western region, where there was no naval base, construction of Shere Bangla naval base is also progressing.
