Developed and developing, all states, regardless of their differences, must work together in order to escape its clutches, said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on the occasion of World Accreditation Day-2021 on Wednesday (June 9).
She expressed satisfaction over the celebration of World Accreditation Day and extended best wishes to all stakeholders and development partners of Bangladesh Accreditation Board (BAB).
She noted that the theme of the day, 'Accreditation: Supporting the Implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals', was timely in the current global context.
Sheikh Hasina said since its inception, BAB has ensured quality of goods and services for all through development of an internationally recognized quality infrastructure in the country, reduction of environmental pollution, ensuring safe working environment, establishment of safe food system, mitigation of climate change risks, supply of quality life-saving medicines, is working to implement various important activities.
Through these activities, BAB is playing a direct and indirect role in the implementation of 'Sustainable Development Goals-2030'. Quality personal protective equipment (masks and others) produced in the country and tested in BAB accreditation laboratories are being widely used in the country and also being exported abroad, which is helping to expand the export trade including the domestic market.
The Prime Minister mentioned that the day is being celebrated in a different context this year. She hoped that the celebration of Accreditation Day would play an important role in developing the country's national infrastructure, achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, ensuring safe food for all, quality medicines and antidotes.
