Prime minister of Qatar, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, on Thursday assured that his country would provide all possible supports to rebuild Bangladesh.
The assurance came when Bangladesh chief adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus held a meeting with the Qatari PM at his office in Doha.
During the meeting, Sheikh Mohammed, also the foreign minister of Qatar, expressed his full support for the leadership of the Bangladesh chief adviser.
The Qatari PM, one of the most influential leaders in the Middle East, said that he would designate one of his close aides to take the relationship with Bangladesh to a new height.
鈥榃e count on your continued leadership,鈥� Sheikh Mohammed told Yunus, expressing his confidence that Bangladesh would come out of the reform and rebuilding process much stronger in the years to come.
The chief adviser sought full diplomatic, financial, and investment supports for building a new Bangladesh, including creating new opportunities and a prosperous future for the country鈥檚 nearly 180 million people, notably its young population.
鈥榃e need your support to build the country of the dream of our youth,鈥� Yunus said.
The Qatari PM also urged the Bangladesh leader to send a technical team to Qatar to hold discussions on a wide range of cooperation.
The discussion also centred on the Rohingya crisis, with the chief adviser calling for all possible support 鈥榯o make sure Rohingya people can return home with dignity.鈥�
Yunus also thanked the Qatari PM for helping organise a high-level dialogue on the Rohingya crisis on the sidelines of the Earthna Summit.
The Qatari PM appreciated Bangladesh鈥檚 role in hosting more than one million Rohingya refugees in the country.
He called for mobilising more international support to resolve the crisis, reiterating the continued support of Qatar to the Rohingyas sheltered in Bangladesh and to sustainable resolution of the issue.
The two leaders also discussed the Gaza situation. Professor Yunus expressed his regret that much of the world was then silent over the plight of the Gazans. The Qatari PM expressed his appreciation of the position of Bangladesh on this issue.
Yunus sought Qatari support for Bangladesh鈥檚 female sports athletes, including providing training and building facilities for them.
He invited the Qatari prime minister to visit Bangladesh at a convenient time - a request gladly accepted by Sheikh Mohammed.
Foreign adviser Touhid Hossain, energy adviser Fouzul Kabir Khan, national security adviser Khalilur Rahman and SDG affairs coordinator Lamiya Morshed, among others, attended the meeting.
Earlier, Professor Yunus delivered an inspirational speech at Qatar University, focusing on his 鈥楾hree Zero鈥� theory.
He said that the young people of the current generation were 鈥榮uper human being鈥� and they were the most powerful generation in the entire human history.
鈥業 [would] also be very zealous to see the young people. Because I remind the young people, the most powerful generation in the entire human history. I repeat you are the most powerful generation in the entire human history,鈥� he said.
Claiming that the young people of this generation are exceptional ones, the chief adviser said that they inherited all the knowledge and technology and they were the control of them.
