BSS: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said her government has taken measures to make armed forces more developed and global standard as they are the symbol of Bangladesh’s sovereignty.
“Armed forces are the symbol of our sovereignty—we have already taken measures to make the armed forces, formed at the hand of my father, more developed and international standard,” she said.
The premier was addressing as the chief guest a programme marking the 49th founding anniversary of the President Guard Regiment (PGR) at its headquarters inside Dhaka Cantonment here. She said her government is transforming armed forces into a modern force with global standard arms, ammunition, vehicles and required equipment alongside giving proper training to its personnel at home and abroad.
