According to Dr Momen, humans and water are vital resources for Bangladesh, but they can backfire if not used in the right way.

So, to effectively use these resources, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has introduced two package policies: economic diplomacy and public diplomacy. "The Foreign Policy of the Twenty-First Century: Development and Leadership" delves deep into these policies.
