The Chief of Bangladesh Army, Lieutenant General Moeen U Ahmed, on Monday asserted that the country must build its own new democratic system with new leadership at all levels.
‘Bangladesh will have to construct its own brand of democracy, giving due recognition to its social, historical and cultural conditions with religion being one of several components of its national identity,’ said Moeen U Ahmed.
Moeen made the statements while delivering keynote speech at a regional conference styled, The Challenging Interface of Democracy and Security, which was organised in the city by the International Political Science Association.
President Iajuddin Ahmed, who inaugurated the conference, urged everyone to come forward with the utmost dedication, patriotism and honesty, keeping the national interest above every consideration, as the country needs rapid economic development along with increased democratisation.
