Bangla Press Desk: Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on Tuesday directed the officials concerned to take all necessary precautionary measures so that no sector of the country is affected after its LDC graduation.
The press secretary was briefing newsmen following the Chief Adviser’s meeting with the experts on the LDC graduation. The meeting was held at the Chief Adviser’s Office in Dhaka.
Briefing media at the Foreign Service Academy here, Shafiqul Alam said during the nearly two-hour meeting, the chief adviser directed all concerned to take steps to ensure maximum benefits as Bangladesh remains confident to smoothly graduate from the LDC status.
The press secretary said the Chief Adviser also stressed the need for constant monitoring by a dedicated team so that no turbulence is seen in this journey, saying, “it is a very critical part”.
Briefing reporters, Chief Adviser’s Special Assistant Anisuzzaman Chowdhury said they have discussed all the issues and listed the precautionary measures.
Citing examples of how other relatively weaker countries successfully graduated, he said, “We must have the confidence.”
He said they are working on having a separate strong trade negotiating body as there is no such trade agency.
Replying to a query, the special assistant said they are continuing their economic diplomacy, but in economic diplomacy, all things cannot be shared. There are always challenges and opportunities to this end, he added.
Chowdhury said the graduation process should be seen positively instead of thinking of stepping back.
