“Sheikh Hasina should remain in power for at least another 10-15 years. While she will dedicate herself in transforming the country into Sonar Bangla (Golden Bangla), Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina also needs to groom her successor, who would be effective continuing the pace of progress and prosperity of this magnificent statesman.
For next five years, Bangladesh will require huge foreign investment, both for infrastructural and economic development projects. In this case, China should be at the front rank helping Bangladesh with soft-loans for infrastructural development, as well immediately begin relocating its gigantic industrial projects to Bangladesh and help the country creating jobs for millions of people, thus exporting ‘Made in Bangladesh’ products to the international market at a competitive price.
On Bangladesh’s part, there should be focus on infrastructural development to effective include Bangladesh in Chinese President Xi Jin Ping’s ‘One Belt One Road’ (OBOR) initiative. Through OBOR, Bangladesh will get direct connection through land and sea route with China as well as with Europe, America and African continents – may be even up to Australia. Such connectivity will greatly help Bangladesh and all of the OBOR-connected nations in witnessing drastic economic growth. One thing Bangladesh and all other nations need to remember, China already is an economic superpower and it can effectively help any of the nations in making similar progresses within a very short span of time. Direct communications between Dhaka and Beijing as well as Sheikh Hasina and Xi Jinping should be further strengthened and increased. There also should be much deeper and meaningful connections between the people of Bangladesh and China.”
