Govt urged to campaign for having graft in Saarc agenda

Tuesday, 18 November 2014


Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) has urged the government to propose inclusion of anti-corruption as a distinct goal in South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) agenda. The call came in a letter written to the Bangladesh Prime Minister by the TIB earlier this month. In its letter, the TIB urged PM Sheikh Hasina to take the lead to work together with her peers at the forthcoming Saarc Summit to undertake regional cooperation initiatives to control corruption effectively. The Saarc Summit will be held in Nepalese capital Kathmandu on November 22-27, according to a news agency.
