Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has given a message on the occasion of Bangladesh Business Summit-2023 and the Golden Jubilee celebration of FBCCI.

Prime Minister said, I am happy to know that Bangladesh Business Summit-2023 and the Golden Jubilee celebration of Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce & Industries (FBCCI) are being held on 11-13 March 2023 in Dhaka. On the occasions, I extend my heartiest congratulations to our citizens, the expatriates, and the foreign delegates who are joining the auspicious events.

Bangladesh has already achieved the status of a ‘Developing’ country. She has become the ‘Role Model’ for development in the world. The country achieved the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in time and is heading towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.

The Awami League government has been investing in infrastructure, promoting entrepreneurship, and upskilling the workforce with the vision of becoming an advanced- prosperous nation and being a ‘Smart Bangladesh’ by 2041 as dreamt by Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. This journey has already begun with the first step of graduating as a developing country in 2021.

Now we are keen to create an environment for private sector-driven development and minimize the cost of doing business by adopting appropriate policy regimes. We believe, the private sector is an engine of growth. Therefore, our government has given thrust to flourish the private industry and to create a conducive environment for investment.

I hope, Bangladesh Business Summit will be an instrument to highlight Bangladesh's status of progress in the economic and social front to the global arena and also successfully identify the pressing needs of Bangladesh's economy through their deliberations and discussions.

I wish Bangladesh Business Summit-2023 and the Golden Jubilee celebration of FBCCI a grand success.
