Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been hailed as a 'wonderful' political leader by the world's influential TIME magazine.
On Thursday (November 2), Time published a report titled 'Sheikh Hasina and the Future of Bangladesh's Democracy' about Bangabandhu's daughter.
As stated in the beginning of the report, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is a wonderful political leader. He has seen Bangladesh emerge as the fastest growing economy in the Asia Pacific region over the past decade.
It also said that he has been serving as the Prime Minister since 2009, which is the longest serving Prime Minister in the world. Before that he was the Prime Minister from 1996 to 2001. He has served as the head of government for a long time with achievements in confronting the military and Islamists who once interfered in the country's politics. There have been 19 assassination attempts on Sheikh Hasina in the past.
According to reports, Sheikh Hasina, who has won more elections than Britain's first woman prime minister Margaret Thatcher or India's Indira Gandhi, is determined to win again in the elections held in January next year. In this regard, he said, "I am confident because the people of my country are with me. They are my main strength.'
Last September, Time magazine conducted an interview with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The magazine printed the report based on that interview.
