President asks BAF personnel to uphold country’s image

President M Abdul Hamid on Tuesday asked air force members to become efficient and ideal ones to elevate the image of Bangladesh Air Force (BAF) and the country as well.

“Each member of the air force should attain world-standard efficiency to uphold the dignity of the country,” he said while addressing the National Standard Award Ceremony of the 1, 3,5,8,9 and 71 Squadrons of BAF at its Bangabandhu Base in Dhaka Cantonment.

President Hamid, also the Commander-in-Chief of Armed Forces, stressed the need for imparting advanced training and doing hard work to take the BAF’s achievements into a new height.

“Attaining professional skill is very important for you (BAF members). It increases self-confidence and also enhances the force’s goodwill and dignity as well. So you have to prepare yourself to be more skilled and ideal air force members,” he suggested.

The head of the state hoped that the air force personnel would play more active role for the development activities of the country and the nation in the days to come. _Agencies
