President asks NDC graduates to utilise expertise

President M Abdul Hamid on Tuesday asked the graduates of the National Defence Course and Armed Forces War Course to create their own identity at the national and international level by making significant contributions to their respective fields.

"I hope the graduates of this prestigious course would be able to make significant contributions to their respective fields," he told the graduates of the NDC and AFW course-2022 as they paid a courtesy call on him at Durbar Hall of Bangabhaban.

Congratulating all course members for their successful completion of the courses here, the President said, "You gathered valuable professional knowledge during your stay at NDC and you have added a wide spectrum of knowledge and experience from here."

Being inspired by the spirit of the Liberation War of Bangladesh and the ideals of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the President said Bangladesh also achieved tremendous success in the socio-economic development under the capable and prudent leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

"Bangladesh is now marching on the highway of development . . . . In order to be an active partner in the world economic community, the government has taken up specific and integrated programs to accomplish its goals," he mentioned.

Terming Bangladesh as a fast-growing emerging economy in this region, Abdul Hamid said despite multiple hurdles, Bangladesh achieved success in attaining high GDP growth over the years.
