Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus said on Thursday that the country`s young generation wants to lead the world apart from building a new Bangladesh, as he handed out the Ekushey Padak 2025.
"We are now stronger, more energetic and more creative than ever. The dreams of our young generation are more courageous than the dreams of any generation in the past," he said during the award ceremony at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium in Dhaka.
Yunus said: "The way they want to create a new Bangladesh, they want to create a new world with the same confidence. They want to take the lead in creating a new world. They are ready to lead. Boys are ready, girls are ready."
He added that the country`s new generation wants to build a "new civilization of their dreams" by breaking the shackles of a self-destructive civilization.
The chief adviser said the main goal of their civilization would be to ensure equal rights of every person to all the resources of the world, to ensure that all have the opportunity to dream and realize it, and to develop human life in such a way that the existence of the world and the living of all lives are not disturbed in any way.
