Wahiduddin Mahmud, an adviser for planning and education, says he hopes for a democratically elected government in the upcoming year.
When asked when Bangladesh might become a developed country, the adviser gave his “opinion” during a conference today in Dhaka.
“Nations do not develop overnight. It takes teamwork. “We have a temporary government in place,” he declared.
“Next year, I believe a democratically elected government will be in place. I’m not sure what will happen, but this is my opinion,” he continued.
The Hotel Lakeshore in Gulshan hosted the four-day annual conference of the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS).
During the first session, BIDS Director General Binayak Sen gave the introductory remarks.
