Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said the civil administration should have proper knowledge about the defence and national security.
“Along with the concept of the existing state security, the security of the people, economy, national prosperity and environment has been included in the national security,” Sheikh Hasina said.
She added: “So, having proper knowledge about the defence and national security by the civil administration is indispensable besides the members of the defence forces.”
The premier made the remarks while addressing the 15th joint meeting of the governing bodies of the National Defence College (NDC) and the Defence Services Command and Staff College (DSCSC) at the Armed Forces Division at Dhaka Cantonment on Wednesday morning.
The Prime Minister asked the members of the governing bodies of the NDC and the DSCSC to strive to make the two institutions more time-befitting.
She said the NDC and DSCSC, the country's two reputed educational institutions, have already received well-recognition at home and abroad for providing quality and time-befitting education.
“The contribution of the two institutions to achieve professionalism and efficiency of the Bangladesh Armed Forces is endless,” she said.
Sheikh Hasina said she became happy to know that the officers of the armed forces from 37 friendly countries have so far taken training from the two organisations.
