The local government, rural development, and cooperative sectors are considered among the main foundations for inclusive development, reducing regional inequality, and achieving sustainable development goals in Bangladesh.

Following the thirteenth national parliamentary election held in February 2026, the government has pledged to develop women and children under the theme of ‘Bangladesh First.’

Recognising the development of the transport and communication system as a key requirement for the country's overall economic progress, the current government is giving special priority to this sector.
