Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday said Bangladesh has been maintaining equally friendly relations with all for the sake of uplifting the socio-economic condition of its people.
“We have a very good relationship with every country. Since we are following the policy the father of the nation gave us, we are maintaining equally friendly relations with all, because our goal is to uplift the socio-economic condition of our country’s people,” she said while addressing the Bangladesh Navy and Bangladesh Air Force Selection Board 2023 at the Secretariat of Navy Chief in Dhaka.
Sheikh Hasina said her government has been successfully improving the socio-economic condition of the country’s people.
She also extended her sincere thanks to the Armed Forces and all others concerned for their cooperation with the government’s goal to improve the lives of the people.
“We will not engage in war with anyone. We will maintain friendly relations with all,” she said, adding that her government has successfully been able to maintain such relations.
The prime minister said Bangladesh has been moving forward following Bangabandhu's "friendship to all malice towards none."
“We do not want war with anyone. We want to live in peace. But we will have to have all sorts of preparations to safeguard our independence and sovereignty,” she said, stressing the need for modernizing the country’s Armed Forces.
