Reiterating the interim government’s firm determination to build a new Bangladesh, Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today urged the workers and owners to work together to build the new Bangladesh.
He made the call while speaking at a function at Bangladesh-China Friendship Exhibition Center here marking the historic May Day and the National Occupational Health and Safety Day, 2025.
Speaking as the chief guest, the Chief Adviser said with sacrifice of lives of students, workers and commoners, the 2024 July mass uprising created an aspiration of building a new Bangladesh.
“The new Bangladesh could not be built if the condition of workers remains the same – that was in old Bangladesh,” he said.
Chief Adviser said the aspiration of building the new Bangladesh is “our responsibility and at the same time, a big opportunity”, noting that such aspiration was not created in the country in the past.
Highlighting the proposals of the Labour Reform Commission, he said it will be quite impossible to build the new Bangladesh without implementing these proposals.
The Chief Adviser stressed implementing the recommendations of the Labour Reform Commission, which need to be accomplished immediately.
