What may be the objectives of the present visit of Ex British PM Tony Blair to Bangladesh?
Ex British prime minister Tony Blair highly praised Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's (Bangladesh) strong leadership in consolidating democracy and combating negative impact of the climate change. Blair made the comment when he, accompanied by his spouse Cherie Blair, met with the prime minister of Bangladesh at Ganobhaban on 21 Aug 2010.
In response, Hasina said her government has taken initiatives for countering terrorism and has been making efforts for the people's welfare since taking the office as she believes that without establishing peace in social life, economic development cannot be achieved.
Mentioning her government's friendship policy, she referred to the signing of the Ganges water sharing treaty with India and the Chittagong Hill Tract peace accord during her previous rule.
The prime minister said the government has allocated $ 700 million from its own resources to enhance the country's capacity to adapt to the climate change situation. On global economy, she said despite economic meltdown Bangladesh maintained an economic growth rate of 6 percent. She said the present government is also working hard to promote women empowerment and improve human rights.
Recalling Britain's active cooperation during the country's Liberation War, the prime minister said Bangladesh greatly values its relationship with UK, USA and consider it to be a highly dependable trade, development and strategic partner. She expressed the hope that Bangladeshi expatriates in Britain would be taken best care by the UK government.
