"On behalf of the World Economic Forum, please accept my congratulations on leading your party to a historic win in the 12th National Elections. I wish you and your colleagues every success for the new tenure," WEF Executive Chairman Professor Klaus Schwab said in a message sent to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday, reports BSS.

He said the World Economic Forum looks forward to working closely with Sheikh Hasina and her government to support in achieving its full growth potential.

Inviting the Bangladesh premier to the 54th World Economic Forum annual meeting under the theme, "Rebuilding Trust," Schwab said, "I would like to take the opportunity to invite you to the 54th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum, which will take place in Davos-Klisters, Switzerland, from January 15 to 19, 2024."

"I truly look forward to engaging you in this effort and, hopefully, to welcoming you in Davos," he continued.

"The bold reforms taken forward under your leadership have helped raise Bangladesh's economic and social standing," Schwab said.
