US-based Foreign Policy journal has named Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as one of the 100 leading global thinkers of 2019.
10th annual special edition of Global Thinkers, which contains 10 categories of 10 people each, was released by the magazine on Tuesday, reports BSS.
The journal placed Sheikh Hasina among the 10 top global thinkers in the “Defence and Security” category in the list of its Current Issue: Winter 2019.
Describing Sheikh Hasina as a great leader, the Foreign Policy magazine says, “Sheikh Hasina has responded to the greatest security challenge facing Bangladesh with a generosity."
"Rather than turn away the approximate 700,000 Rohingya who fled persecution in Myanmar, Hasina welcomed them and allowed them to remain in her country,” the magazine said.
Referring to the background of the list, the Foreign Policy said they selected the leading global thinkers cautiously considering their stake in shaping the world mind.
