Prime Minister’s Foreign Affairs Advisor, Humayun Kabir, presented the newly proposed Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, introduced under the leadership of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum in Türkiye.
He delivered his remarks during a plenary session titled ‘Shrinking Aid and Capacity Building’, alongside distinguished speakers from international organizations, including the United Nations (UN), TİKA, and JICA. In his speech, Advisor Kabir said that relying only on traditional aid is no longer enough in today’s changing world. Instead of depending on foreign help, countries should work together to build their own strengths, he said.
He specifically highlighted three main points: improving people’s skills for long-term progress, educating and empowering women so everyone benefits, and sharing medical technology to provide better healthcare. Advisor Humayun Kabir called for a transformative approach- ‘Aid for Capacity Building, Skills Development, and Technology Transfer’, as a forward-looking framework to address global development challenges in an era of shrinking aid.
