Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today sought British cooperation for the development of Bangladesh Railway sector.

"Bangladesh will be happy to see British cooperation for the development of Bangladesh railway sector," she was quoted as saying by her Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim.

The premier made the remarks when former British Prime Minister and Executive Chairman of the Institute for Global Change Tony Blair paid a courtesy call on her at the latter's official Gono Bhaban residence in the capital this evening.

At the meeting, Tony Blair highly praised Bangladesh's socio-economic and infrastructure development under the prudent leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

"Bangladesh is expected to gain further momentum in its overall development in the coming days," he said.

Sheikh Hasina said her government has a target to transform Bangladesh into a developed country by 2041.

To this end, the prime minister said her government has attached topmost priority on the development of Information Commutation Technology (ICT).

"We are focusing on development of the ICT," she said.

Ambassador-at-Large M Ziauddin and PM's Principal Secretary Md Tofazzel Hossain Miah were present during the meeting.

There is really one nation that have both technology and proven record of building state of the art railway network, building fast and modularized way. That country is China!

Happens to be that China is also the only country who probably is both willing to fund and have capacity to build a modern rail network in BD in matter of just a decade.

No brainer

China is already engaged in the development of Bangladesh's railway system. They are investing billions of dollars in this sector. We are ready to welcome British participation in the railway sector of Bangladesh also. Let's see what Tony Blair can do to send British investment in Bangladesh to upgrade our railway sector.

He has great experience from the Iraqi expedition on how to engineer a regime change successfully.

Hasina is next on his list.

Tony Blair won't do anything that is contrary to US and Indian interest in Bangladesh.
