Military personnel must always be prepared to protect sovereignty: Chief Adviser

In a recent speech, Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus emphasized that the country‍‍`s soldiers must always be ready to protect Bangladesh‍‍`s sovereignty. 

He stressed that for this to happen, military personnel need to develop practical skills, courage, and professionalism through hands-on training.

Dr. Yunus remarked, “The Bangladesh Army is the pride and trust of the nation.” 

He added that to meet this high expectation, soldiers must follow the principle that "training is the greatest welfare." 

He further emphasized that with modern and relevant training, military personnel must always be prepared to defend the nation’s sovereignty.
