Bangladesh is marching forward to transform itself into a developed nation, riding on the efforts and talent of the people, MA Mannan said, adding, "In this journey, we are receiving support from our friends like China. We want to move forward for the world's humanity."
Connectivity is very important in "Smart Bangladesh," Mustafa Jabbar said, "We've already managed to bring 98 percent of the area of Bangladesh under the coverage of 4G network.
