The assurance came when SIDA Director-General Anders Nordstrom paid a call on the Prime Minister at her Grand Hotel suite in the Swedish capital on Wednesday afternoon (local time), as she started her five-day tour of Sweden.
The burning issues of the global climate change and its impacts on development affairs, particularly in Bangladesh and other developing nations, dominated the meeting between the PM and the SIDA Director General.
Prime Minister?s Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad briefed newsmen after the meeting, where Sheikh Hasina expressed deep concern over the dire consequences of increasing impacts of the global warming on Bangladesh, the Maldives, Nepal, Bhutan and other developing nations of the world.
She pointed out that though the underdeveloped and developing nations contribute little to the warming, they are the worst sufferers of the climate change.
Developed countries are responsible for the changes in the global climate, she categorically said.
?Now the developed nations and the development agencies will have to come forward with assistance for protecting the underdeveloped and developing countries from the wrath of the climate,? she opined.
She listed various plans her new government has chalked out, including river dredging and the setting up of high embankments, to face the climate-change threats.
?But alone such big threats cannot be faced. Coordinated and united efforts are a must in this regard,? she told the Swedish development-agency chief.
Hasina laid emphasis on conducting deep researches on types of natural calamity, its reasons and advanced weather forecasting to find ways of protecting people from the natural calamities.
The premier reiterated her support to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown?s proposal for creating a climate fund of USD 200 million in aid of the climate-victim countries.
Hasina reaffirmed the present government?s strong commitment to reestablishing good governance and increasing women?s empowerment in Bangladesh.
She said the government has already further strengthened the Anti-Corruption Commission, the Election Commission and other democratic institutions to establish good governance.
She mentioned significant participation of women in the country?s various elections, including of Union Parishads, Upazila elections and the last parliamentary polls.
The Prime Minister said her government is working relentlessly to ensure quality health and education services to the mass people.
She said the 18,000 community health clinics? project will again be implemented, which was ?unfortunately? closed down by the last BNP-Jamaat government.
Hasina further said every Ministry of the government and the Ministry for Chittagong Hill Tracts Affairs are giving due importance to the development of the indigenous communities across the country.
The government will set up a university in Rangamati hill district to ensure higher education of the hilly areas? students, the Prime Minister mentioned in this context.
Ambassador M Ziauddin, Bangladesh Ambassador in Sweden Imtiaz Ahmed and Swedish Ambassador to Dhaka Britt F Hagstrom were present.
