Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday emphasized the need
for focusing on export to earn foreign currencies instead of depending on
remittance.
"We have to focus more on export to earn foreign
currencies instead of only depending on remittance," she said.
The prime minister also asked all concerned to diversify
local products to explore new markets abroad, reports BSS.
She was inaugurating 24 Technical Training Centres (TTCs)
including Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Centennial TTC at the upazila level, joining
virtually from her official Ganabhaban residence.
The Bureau of Manpower Employment and Training (BMET)
organised the function at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium in city.
"We have to take initiatives to earn foreign currencies
by making local products multidimensional to find out fresh markets
abroad," she said.
The premier said some people of the country are making
illogical comments and spreading rumours about the foreign currency reserve,
adding it is common that the reserve would be more or less.
"I believe, it is enough to have foreign currency
reserve to purchase food for three months," she continued.
But, she said Bangladesh has to shrink dependency on other
countries for consumer products and food items.
"We can utilise properly the people and fertile lands
we have. We have to modernise the process of preserving foods and establish
food processing industries largely," the prime minister said.
In such way, the demand of the local markets would be
fulfilled and locally made products can be exported to earn foreign currencies,
she added.
Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment Minister Imran
Ahmad, its parliamentary affairs committee Chairman Barrister Anisul Islam
Mahmud, Secretary Dr Ahmed Munirus Saleheen and BMET Director General Md
Shahidul Alam, spoke on the occasion.
A documentary on the TTCs was screened at the function.
