Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen today said
Bangladesh government is not harassing Nobel Laureate Professor Dr Yunus on
any political or other reasons.
“They (those who wrote letters) may think that he (Yunus) is being harassed
due to political or other reasons. We hope they will know the facts. We will
provide if they want to know,” he told reporters while at a briefing at a
foreign ministry.
The foreign minister said the government did not file any case against Dr
Yunus rather he is facing legal process with allegation of cheating with the
labourers and tax evasion.
The government will set up two Digital Economy hubs for the ICT industry to create conducive environment for digital economy by providing policy support, implementing upskilling and reskilling initiatives and coordinating Center of Excellence on digital technologies.
The digital economy hub which will be set up on the premises of Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services (BASIS) and Bangladesh Association of Contact Center and Outsourcing (BACCO) would also develop a comprehensive institutional framework and system for the digital economy ecosystem that would benefit all businesses.
Two separate Memorandum of Understandings (MoUs) were signed today in this regard between the World Bank financed Enhancing Digital Government Economy (EDGE) Project of BCC and BASIS, along with BACCO at the auditorium of Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC).
