Independent, self-reliant, progressive economy

In conclusion, Sdr. Rahman said that the only way to resolve these socio-economic problems in our country is to struggle to achieve full national independence. We must get back what rightly belongs to us. Only when we have full control over our rich resources and the destiny of our country in our own hands that we can develop an independent, self-reliant and progressive economy which will benefit our people of all nationalities. Only then can genuine development to overcome national and class oppression fully be realised. This is the irresistible historical trend in the countries of the Third World today as reflected at the Non-Aligned Summit Conference held in Algiers recently. He expressed confidence that the trend for national independence and self-reliance will definitely develop with full vigour in the coming years in our country as well as in the Third World!
