Terming the Ukraine-Russia war as meaningless Prime Minister
Sheikh Hasina on Thursday said only arms producers are profiting from the
conflict.
“…this war is meaningless. Because we are witnessing that
only the arms producers are making profits. The lives of the general people are
endangered,” she said.
The prime minister said this while inaugurating Bangabandhu
Sheikh Mujib Centennial Technical Training Center in Tungipara and 23 other
technical training centres in various upazilas across the country.
The programme was held at Osmani Memorial Auditorium while
the PM joined virtually from her official residence Ganabhaban.
Hasina said that this war comes with sanctions and
counter-sanctions threatening the global economy.
“Developed countries are facing severe problems. They have
now started to save electricity and fuel oil, they are in anxiety about food
security and taking various steps for that,” she said.
The premier said that countries like Bangladesh which have
started a journey towards a specific goal to become developed is facing severe
hurdles due to this war.
“This is very much regretful. But we must not stop our
advancement,” she said.
The PM mentioned that the war struck when the world was
facing coronavirus pandemic and resultant economic recession.
“To save the fuel oil all countries have taken various types
of initiatives and we are also following that,” she said.
Hasina put emphasis on building skilled manpower as
Bangladesh has a huge number of young population.
“We are working on that. We want to build skilled manpower
through providing them training aiming to continue the pace of development.”
