Dhaka, Dec 5, 2020: A sculpture of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on his birth centenary in Ankara, Turkey and a sculpture of the founder of modern Turkey Mostafa Kamal Ataturk in Dhaka will be implemented after a bilateral official decision, said the Minister for Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Tajul Islam.

He made the remarks in a courtesy call on Turkish Ambassador to Bangladesh Mostafa Osman Turan in his ministry room on Sunday (December 6th). Asked about the construction of sculptures in Dhaka and Turkey, he said, "It has come in the form of a proposal. I also know the information. It will be implemented only after taking a bi-lateral (bilateral) official decision. '

Asked if the ambassador had any progress on the sculpture, the local government minister replied. "It simply came to our notice then. We have discussed various general issues today. He came to the courtesy meeting today. Our relationship is extremely good. Discussions have taken place on how to work together.

"Turkey is our friend," he said. We both believe that it is essential for every country in the world to work for humanity through friendly relations with each other. We both agree on that goal. That has been discussed. We will then share with our local government departments the experiences they have had to improve civics, including waste management, sewerage systems and sanitation. They have also expressed interest in using the experience we have in Turkey. I will discuss the specific issues again if necessary. '

Turkish Ambassador Mostafa Osman Turan said, "As the new ambassador, I have had courtesy meetings with ministers from other ministries, and I have had a similar meeting today. Today we talked about bilateral cooperation. The relations between our two countries are very good. We talked about how we can increase cooperation in the local government department. We met here today to talk about it. '
