Former Foreign Secretary Faruq Sobhan has highlighted Bangladesh’s significant strength – its large diaspora population residing abroad. He emphasized the necessity of effectively utilizing the skills and resources of these Bangladeshis living overseas. The comments come amidst growing discontent among youth in Bangladesh regarding the current economic growth model. Rowshon Jahan’s work indicates a need to reassess how Bangladesh leverages its external workforce for national development. Sobhan suggests incorporating the experiences and contributions of the Bangladeshi diaspora into future economic strategies. This approach could potentially address the concerns of the younger generation and ensure more inclusive growth within Bangladesh. The discussion underscores a critical point: Bangladesh’s future prosperity relies on acknowledging and engaging its global community.
