In her message, the Prime Minister called upon all to play due roles to accelerate development, uphold democratic polity and establish good governance frustrating all sorts of conspiracy against democracy and the government being imbued with the spirit of the Liberation War.
She said Bangladesh and UNESCO will jointly celebrate the birth centenary of Bangladesh's founding father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman next year.
"We've been working to make Bangladesh a middle income country by 2021 and a developed-prosperous one by 2041. Bangladesh is moving ahead, it will keep on doing so," she said.
