Newly appointed Russian Ambassador in Dhaka has proposed to Bangladesh for using its own currency for the mutual trade aimed at reducing dependence on the dollar.
The Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) today approved five development projects involving Taka 700.08 crore. The approval came at a meeting of the ECNEC held in the NEC conference room in the city's Sher-e-Bangla Nagar with ECNEC Chairperson and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the chair.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina sought an active role of the people of all strata against the ploy to plunge the country into militancy saying the nation would suffer if militant activities continue.
The cabinet in principle approved the draft of "The Bangladesh Agriculture Research Institute (BARI) Law, 2016" aimed at modernising agricultural research and making it more time-befitting.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina told the visiting US assistant secretary for South and Central Asian Affairs that sharing information is very important to fight militancy and terrorism together.
