Fight against graft to continue: PM

The prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, has said her government's fight against corruption will continue as it believes in transparency and accountability.

The prime minister made the remark when the speaker of Bhutan National Assembly, Tshogpon Jigme Tshultim, called on her at her office on Tuesday.

Prime Minister's press secretary Abul Kalam Azad briefed the reporters after the meeting.

The prime minister said Bangladesh was working to increase connectivity with the neighbouring countries including Bhutan and Nepal.

She also put emphasis on sharing hydro-power with Bhutan.

Hasina recalled that Bhutan was the first country which recognised Bangladesh as an independent country.

Tshultim said he had come with a team to see the parliamentary democracy practised in Bangladesh as Bhutan was new in parliamentary democracy.

He also sought cooperation from Bangladesh in this regard.

Ambassador at-large M Ziauddin, principal secretary MA Karim, secretary of the parliament secretariat Ashfaq Hamid and PMO secretary Molla Waheeduzzaman were, among others, present.
