Bangladesh observes Power and Energy week 2016

Xinhua, December 8, 2016 Adjust font size:

With a view to creating public awareness about power and energy conservation and their efficient use, the Bangladeshi government has been observing "Power and Energy Week" in recent years.

The theme of this year's "Power and Energy Week" is "Odomya Bangladesh or Indomitable Bangladesh".

As part of the event, a fair on electricity equipment and associated businesses is now underway in Dhaka's Bashundhara Convention Center.

Scores of local and international farms including those from China are participating in the fair to showcase their products and services.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wednesday inaugurated the power and energy week Thursday and reiterated her government's commitment to providing electricity to every household by 2021.

She called upon the public to maintain austerity in using power and gas in their houses and workplaces to achieve the goal.

State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hami said experts and professionals from different countries will participate in as many as four international seminars during the week. Endit
