Swimmers to bring more laurels: PM
Mentioning that Bangladesh is making its mark in sports in the international arena alongside its growing economy, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday hoped that the country's talented swimmers will bring much more laurels for the nation.
"We hope that the swimmers of our riverine country will have their dignified position on the global stage," she said.
The Prime Minister was addressing the concluding ceremony of 'Bangladesh in search of best swimmers', a countrywide talent hunt, at the Navy Headquarters.
The Prime Minister distributed awards among the selected best swimmers and handed over cheques of Tk 5 lakh to eight swimmers each in four different age-based categories for their performance.
Hasina noted that once there was no so much for the country's swimmers to receive support from the government and receiving training. "But, today, we've been able to ensure that."
