PM attracted attention of global leaders at G-20 Summit: Quader

Awami League (AL) General Secretary Obaidul Quader has said as an invited guest, the presence of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at the G-20 Summit attracted the attention of world leaders, reports BSS.
"People's leader Sheikh Hasina has become the centre of interest of the world leaders due to her skilled leadership, outstanding personality and efficiency," he said in a statement on Monday.
Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, said once Bangladesh was poverty-prone country and an economy of uncertainty but now it has turned into a developing country due to the prime minister's talent, vision, integrity and success in governing the state.
The success Bangladesh achieved in the last one and a half decades is unprecedented because of visionary steps and policies taken by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government, he said.
Quader said the instance of outstanding efficiency and skill in successfully governing the country has been reflected in the respectful expressions of the world leaders towards Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
"Through it, the world leaders have expressed their support to the effective leadership of Sheikh Hasina. Global leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, praised Sheikh Hasina's efficient leadership," he added.
The AL general secretary said the glorious presence of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at the G-20 conference has made the country's people proud.
The nation does not expect suck statement from any political leadership with good sense that BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir made over a selfie taken by US President Joe Biden with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, he said.
Quader said the ruling AL believes that the people are the main source of power and people are the key strength of any political organisation.
A true democratic political organisation depends on the people and gets well-organised holding the public opinion, he said.
The road transport minister said it is not right that the US President's selfie would bring Bangladesh Awami League to power, but it bears the indication of good relations prevailing between Bangladesh and the United States.
The BNP leaders were spreading propaganda that the incumbent government has no friends and its befitting reply was reflected in this selfie, he said.
Apart from the US President, Quader said, many other world leaders exchanged warm greetings with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and pictures and news of those have already been published in media.
