Prime Minister Tarique Rahman on Monday said Bangladesh
could become a beautiful and prosperous nation if children grow into capable
and responsible citizens.
“If today's children can build themselves properly for the
future, only then will it be possible to build a beautiful and prosperous
Bangladesh,” he said.
The Prime Minister made the remarks while addressing the closing and prize-giving ceremony of “Notun Kuri Sports 2025-26” at the Bangladesh Army Stadium in the city.
Earlier, he enjoyed the girls’ football final match and boys’ and girls’ 100-metre sprint events at the venue and distributed prizes among the national level winners of the nationwide sporting event organized for adolescents with the theme “If sports becomes a profession, family will find security.”
Addressing the children and young athletes, the Prime
Minister said his government is working to build the country in the right
direction, but that effort would succeed only if the younger generation
prepared themselves for the future through both education and sports.
“We are working to build the country properly. But we can do
this work successfully only when you – those sitting in the gallery today and
those who have received awards on the playing field – prepare yourselves for
the future,” he said.
“Now, while studying, you have to study with dedication, and in the same way, you have to play with the same commitment,” the premier added.
