‘No Hawa Bhaban and development wing at PMO to share your profits with’
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina tells businessmen that they should understand the root cause of the ongoing global crisis
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday asked businessmen to place Bangladesh and countrymen before profits.
“There’s no Hawa Bhaban and development wing at PMO to share your profits with,” she said.
The PM made the remarks at a meeting with importers and exporters of consumer goods.
She said that in the last 14 years, during the Awami League rule, businessmen of the country ran their businesses and made profits without hindrance.
She said that at present, businessmen of the country are free from the “pain of Hawa Bhaban and development wing of the PMO.”
“You are not suffering that now. You have to admit that,” she said.
Hasina observed that in the past, the lion share of profits went to Hawa Bhaban and PMO’s so-called development wing.
“…Keep that in mind, and consider the country and its people (first),” she said.
The PM also said that during the Covid-19 pandemic, the government provided stimulus packages to businessmen to run their business smoothly, even though they did not ask for that.
She said that a team was formed through her initiative, and it operated well in running the wheels of the economy.
She also recalled that during the pandemic, many factories and industries of developed countries shut down.
“We said that we will not allow our factories and industries to close down, we have to continue… I ensured workers’ wages, gave the stimulus packages,” she said.
The PM said that when the opposition is holding anti-government protests on the streets some businessmen have become anxious, but there are some others who have started looking for opportunities about how to make profits by opening Hawa Bhaban again.
“Don't know why, suddenly they (businessmen) have started singing a synchronised tune that there is lack of this or that, and this cannot be done or that cannot take place,” she said.

“The crisis is not originated in Bangladesh, it is an international crisis, we must keep that in our mind,” she said.
Hasina said that to procure soybean and sugar, a team led by the Commerce Secretary will go to Brazil to negotiate directly for the TCB (Trading Corporation of Bangladesh).
“They (Brazil) want to sell directly, and we have to procure those (sugar and soybean) directly, no other means they will allow, it is their system,” she said adding that this system has to be followed to procure items from there.
Meanwhile, as per the PM’s Press Wing press release the PM urged the consumer goods importers and exporters to supply essential items including edible oil and sugar at appropriate price to all citizens of the country.
Talking about the foreign currency reserves, she said that during the COVID-19 pandemic people could not travel overseas resulting in high deposit of foreign currency.

“The import expenditures were made for capital machinery. Whenever those (machinery) will be used we will surely get our return…this is the reality,” she said.
Regarding food security, she said that the government is working round the clock to increase food production in the country.
The PM mentioned that after the Russia-Ukraine war began she warned of the famine like situation in the world.
“What I had told then, everyone is telling that now,” she said.

India not a strategic rival or competitor for China: Ambassador Jiming
He sees promising outlook, brighter future for Dhaka-Beijing relations
Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Li Jiming on Wednesday said his country does not have any “strategic rivalry or hostility” to Bangladesh’s friendly neighbor India at all.
The envoy said the two countries - India and China can "closely work together" to “resolve any economic, geopolitical and other issues” in this region and beyond.
“We never view India as a strategic rival or strategic competitor of China,” he said while speaking at “DCAB Talk” held at Jatiya Press Club.
Diplomatic Correspondents Association, Bangladesh (DCAB) organised its flagship programme. DCAB President Rezaul Karim Lotus and General Secretary AKM Moinuddin also spoke at the programme.
Energy Cooperation
Media reported that India and China have been increasingly buying discounted Russian oil as global energy prices remain high.
Responding to a question, Ambassador Jiming said China is an importer of LNG and other products and generally speaking China is not in a good position to export those kinds of products to Bangladesh.
“If there is an emergency situation, I think, as always, China will not sit idle and keep watching,” he said, adding that both sides are in discussion on the possibility of any emergency supply.
Rohingya Crisis
On the Rohingya crisis, Ambassador Jiming said China keeps putting its efforts in pursuing early repatriation, and, at the same time, helps to improve settlement facilities to relieve local sufferings.
“We also appreciate Bangladesh for coping well with the turbulence along the Myanmar border,” he said.
“You need sincere support from the Myanmar side,” he said, adding that they have an Asian way of solving it.
Asked then why the Rohingya issue is not being resolved, he said that China is seriously and sincerely working towards that end. "We are working silently.”
The envoy also talked about debt management, global development initiative, trade and investment issues.
“There is no Chinese debt trap in Bangladesh. There is no Chinese debt trap globally,” he said.
The envoy also said China “never acts against Muslims in the country” and they have no particular reason to hate or discriminate against any group.
“This is totally fake news (what you see in Uyghur). I can tell you with certainty,” he said.

The Chinese envoy said he is personally a “big fan” of India, and he used to travel to many Indian places and made many friends.
He also laid emphasis on resolving all the problems in the region in an “Asian way” and said that is the basic intention of China.
Describing the situation in Europe as “miserable”, Ambassador Jiming said, “Do you want to see what happened in Europe to happen here in our region? I don’t think you want to see that. So, let’s solve all the problems in an Asian way.”
The envoy said his country will continue to work closely with Bangladesh to ensure development, peace and stability in the region.
“China-Bangladesh relations have grown healthily and steadily, and (I) foresee a promising outlook. We are ready to work with Bangladesh for a brighter future,” he said.
The envoy said China wants a "peaceful and stable" Bangladesh as “peace and stability” are preconditions for development.
Any problem, therefore, should be resolved in a democratic and peaceful way, he said, adding that China considers Bangladesh as a "very good strategic partner" and continues to improve the relations with it.
The envoy said that China shares the same views like Bangladesh on the Ukraine issue and highlighted the importance of having dialogue and discussion to resolve problems peacefully.
“We both stand with peace and call for appropriate settlement of the concerns of all through diplomatic channels,” he said.
