"We will focus on how we can achieve collective improvement. How people can gain education, skills, and a sense of humanity – development plans must be designed from this perspective," he said.
"Our goal is to improve the quality of people's lives and bring qualitative change to the governance system of the country. Naturally, our plans must generate impact across the economy, society, and culture," he added.
He also stressed proper planning to make implementation easier. "In this regard, the Ministry of Planning will serve as the core support of the current government. Through its work, we aim to create opportunities to transform Bangladesh," Saki said.
On addressing inequality, the state minister said that those who create most of the country's wealth must receive their rightful share. "Equity means ensuring that all citizens receive a fair share of the nation's resources," he added.
