Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina laid importance on expansion of trade and investment with Sweden, particularly strengthening cooperation in shipbuilding and garment sector.
The Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) approved seven development projects involving Taka 5,727.40 crore.
The cabinet approved in principle the draft of "The Communicable Diseases Prevention, Control and Eradication Law, 2016" aimed at facing a risk and emergency situation related to public health by checking and eradicating contagious diseases.
