The United Kingdom (UK) Prime Minister Rishi Sunak today called Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as a successful economic leader, saying, “You’re inspiration for us.”

“I’m following you for many years. You’re a successful economic leader,” Bangladesh High Commissioner to the UK Saida Muna Tasneem quoted Sunak as telling the Bangladesh premier at their maiden bilateral meeting at the Commonwealth Secretariat’s Bilateral Meeting Room on Friday (local time).

According to Tasneem, the UK premier said his two daughters and wife are big fan of her (Sheikh Hasina) as he wished his daughters to be great leader like Sheikh Hasina since he took office in October last.

“You’re great inspiration for my two daughters,” Sunak said.

The British prime minister highly lauded the leadership of Sheikh Hasina for Bangladesh’s prosperity alongside giving shelter to Rohingyas and houses to the landless and homeless Bangladesh people at government expenses and her glorious role in various international forums including climate change.বিস্তারিত
