Mutual cooperation, not competition: Palak
State Minister for Information and Communication Technology Zunaid Ahmed Palak said that Bangladesh is now moving towards a progressive digital society with the vision of the Prime Minister on the basis of mutual cooperation and not competition.
He made the remarks while addressing a seminar on ‘Stop Access to the Fastest Growing Economy’ at the UK-Bangladesh Investment Summit in London.
The state minister said ICT has played a pivotal role in various developments of the government in the last 12 years. In his speech, Palak also highlighted the three magic of the Prime Minister behind the development success of the government.
Noting that the government has also reduced the gap between urban-rural and rich-poor by using technology, Palak added that the UK is now the second largest market for Bangladeshi IT companies for the benefit of expatriate Bangladeshis.
