Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday said her government is building each force as capable to protect the country's independence and sovereignty.
"We don't want war, we want peace. But, we should achieve the capability to protect the country from external attack, so we can defend our independence, and sovereignty. We are preparing all the forces as efficiently keeping that in mind," she said.
The prime minister said this while commissioning two new maritime patrol aircraft (MPA-8322 and MPA -8327) to the aviation fleet of the Bangladesh Navy at a programme held at the Naval Aviation Hangar, Patenga, Chattogram, joining virtually from her official Ganabhaban residence here.
