- At a dialogue at The Daily Star Centre yesterday, the business leaders said the private sector had to do the heavy lifting alone even when a serious incident such as the Rana Plaza RMG factory collapse took place.
- But the private sector cannot manage the preparations on its own, they said, since many issues, such as improving ports and logistics, require the government to do its part.
- At the government’s request, however, the UN General Assembly has formally approved a three-year extension, moving the date to November 24, 2029.
