Thursday, 18 September 2008
The caretaker government will organise a policy summit with top political leaders of the country on a three-point agenda at the height of the process of democratic transition, reports UNB.
The cardinal issues are investment growth, administrative reforms and education.
In the run-up to the late December polls, the proposed summit will take place in the later part of November.
Commerce Adviser Dr Hossain Zillur Rahman unveiled the plan of the caretaker government.
Following the 1/11 changeover amid a political crisis over election issues, the present interim regime has done massive reforms that would need ratification.He, however, said the government would not provide any guideline on the issues.
Rather, the government will expect political parties to share their views on the issues in the summit meet so that the next elected government could easily deal with the matters.
'Actually our plan is to engage the top political leaders in the summit so that they could give the guidelines for the next government. The next elected government will have to face a lot of challenges, particularly in dealing with investment, administrative reforms and education.
'We want to leave the things forward for the next government,' Hossain Zillur told reporters after a meeting on Chittaghong regional development at the Commerce Ministry.
