‘Lead by example, be changemakers’
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday urged the students of Qatar University to lead by example and be the changemakers as she offered the future leaders seven pieces of advice, gleaned from her own experiences.
"I would like to share a few suggestions for future leaders from my life's experience and struggles. First: Represent a value; second: remain focused on your vision; third: make concrete plans to realise your vision; fourth: lead by example and be the change-maker; fifth: trust your people and team; sixth: invoke your maternal spirit; and seventh: embrace the new and the future," she said while delivering a speech before the students of Qatar University at its Research Complex auditorium in Doha.
The theme of the event, "A Session with Prime Minister of Bangladesh", was "Bangladesh: A Development Model: Learning from Sheikh Hasina."
"In 2015, Bangladesh became a lower middle-income country, and we envision it becoming an upper-middle-income country by 2031 and a high-income one by 2041. Meanwhile, we have been qualified to graduate to a developing country by 2026 from the LDC category," she said.
"We have made impressive gains in food security, free and affordable housing, community healthcare, compulsory primary education, women's empowerment, financial inclusion, digital services, access to electricity, disaster preparedness, and climate adaptation," said the PM.
The premier said today's Bangladesh is a changed Bangladesh. "It is dubbed as a role model for development. Our hard-earned development in the country is not a miracle. It is the collective work of our men and women," she said.
Hasina reached Doha on Monday on a three-day official visit to attend the Qatar Economic Forum-2023 at the invitation of Qatar Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
