NCE Managing Director Miss Shigesawa Yuka and BASIS Japan Day Convener and Director Ahmedul Islam Babu were also present at that time.
State Minister of ICT Zunaid Ahmed Palak said that the biggest wealth of Bangladesh is the land and people of this country. With the successful use of technology with these two, Japan is still at the leading level of the world after healing the wounds of the Second World War. Bangladesh is also walking on that path. Digital Bangladesh has been implemented under the guidance of Prime Minister’s ICT Advisor Sajeeb Wazed Joy.
He also said that Japan recognized Bangladesh immediately after the independence. During the war, Japanese students helped Bangladeshi refugees in India by saving tiffin money. I think now is the best time for both countries to work together.
