SHEIKH HASINA, Prime Minister of Bangladesh, said that a global order based on peaceful coexistence, social justice and freedom from poverty, hunger, exploitation and justice continued to be her country’s guiding vision in its national development and its engagement with the world. She expressed her Government’s full solidarity with the Palestinian people. Bangladesh had so far contributed 128,133 peacekeepers to 54 United Nations peacekeeping missions, as the highest number of women police officers to those operations.
Her Government had created a strong legal and regulatory regime for countering terrorism, she said, adding that, in order to uphold the rule of law and end impunity, crimes committed during the 1971 "liberation war" were being brought to trial. The Bangladeshi economy had grown during the last five years, and several infrastructure and connectivity projects were being brought to fruition. Eighteen “economic zones” were being established across the country for potential investors. With a young workforce, skills development of its population remained a policy imperative for Bangladesh. By making use of contemporary communication technology, the country was reaching both rural and urban people with crucial public services.
