In just three and a half years, he took war-torn Bangladesh to the list of least developed country. While Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib was advancing to build an exploitation-deprivation-free non-communal democratic 'Sonar Bangla' overcoming all obstacles, the anti-liberation forces brutally killed him along with most of his family members on 15 August 1975. After the assassination of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib, the development and progress of Bangladesh came to a halt. The politics of killing, coup and conspiracy started in our beloved motherland. The assassins and their accomplices promulgated the 'Indemnity Ordinance' to block the trial of this heinous murder in the history. Getting the public mandate in 1996, Bangladesh Awami League formed the government after long 21 years. After assuming the office, we took the initiatives to establish H.E. Mr. Md. Abdul Hamid H.E.

Article by Gazi Hassan Image courtesy AP With the forces of globalisation blurring the lines between sovereignty and interdependence, the world is at a point where bilateralism and multilateralism have become the need of the hour. In the international system, there exists a dynamic relationship between the nations, where traditional enemies can become allies and allies can turn hostile to each other. The region of South Asia is emerging as a pivot for changing international politics in a significant manner. India being the largest country both in terms of area and population in the region has to sustain its dominance by exerting soft power to wean away the rising popularity of China. The Chinese influence has been on the rise and in order to cope with it, India has to carefully frame its policy to protect its national interests in the South Asian region. The political developments in various countries of the region highlighted below and India’s response to them will make grounds for robustness in policy making. 1 Centre for Strategic Studies https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Gs3u3vWbRROOxjAOSxQvLzMjPpRca_iR1Ps3r-rlsHI/edit# 1/5 1/11/2019 Reemerging India? - Google Docs Centre for Public Policy Research Independent.

  • Statement by H. E. Sheikh Hasina Prime Minister Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh 22 April 2021 Bismillahir Ra
    Statement by H. E. Sheikh Hasina Prime Minister Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh 22 April 2021 Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim Honourable President Joe Biden, H.E. António Guterres, Excellencies. Assalamu Alaikum, and good morning. I thank President Biden for convening the Summit and inviting me to speak to this august gathering. Bangladesh deeply appreciates the United States’ return to the Paris Climate Agreement and is keen to engage with the international community. Excellencies, Despite being a climate vulnerable country with resource constraints, Bangladesh has emerged as a global leader on adaptation and mitigation. Every year we are spending about 5 billion dollars, about 2.5 percent of our GDP, on climate adaptation and resilience-building measures. The 1.1 million forcefully displaced Rohingyas from Myanmar whom we have sheltered worsened our vulnerability. Bangladesh is pursuing a low carbon development path. To raise our Nationally Determined Contribution-NDC and adaptation ambition, we have included new sectors in addition to the existing energy, industry and transport sectors in the mitigation process. We are planning to submit a quantified ambitious NDC by June 2021. Excellencies, Bangladesh is observing ‘Mujib Year’, marking the birth centenary of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. We are planting 30 million saplings nationwide and adopted “Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan” to achieve low carbon economic growth. As the Chair of the Climate Vulnerable Forum-CVF and V20, Bangladesh’s key focus is to uphold the interests of the climate vulnerable countries. We are hosting the South Asian regional office of the Global Centre on Adaptation which is promoting locally-led adaptation solutions.
