Pursue economic diplomacy to lift country’s trade, commerce: PM

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Friday (September 25) asked the Bangladeshi diplomats to pursue economic diplomacy alongside political diplomacy to give a boost to the country’s trade and commerce.

“The duty of diplomatic missions has changed in today’s world. Now economic diplomacy has surfaced alongside the political one. We have to pursue diplomacy in such a way that we can boost up the country’s trade and commerce and achieve economic self-dependency by working together with all (of the world),” she said.

She simultaneously stressed the need for working in unison to maintain peace on the globe.

The Prime Minister made the remarks while addressing a commemorative meeting virtually marking the 46th anniversary of delivering maiden speech in the UN in Bangla by Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA)._BSS.
