The Awami League-led government has been investing in infrastructure, promoting entrepreneurship, and up-skilling the workforce with the vision of developing an advanced- prosperous nation and a 'Smart Bangladesh' by 2041 as dreamt by Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, she said.

"Now we are keen to create an environment for private sector-driven development and minimize the cost of doing business by adopting appropriate policy regimes," she added.
"We believe, the private sector is an engine of growth. Therefore, our government has given thrust to flourish the private industry and to create a favorable environment for investment," she continued.
She hoped that Bangladesh Business Summit will be an instrument to highlight Bangladesh's status of progress in the economic and social fronts to the global arena and also successfully identify the pressing needs of Bangladesh's economy through their deliberations and discussions.
