Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday directed the authorities concerned to pay more attention to digital security in every sector of the country.

"In fact, as technology creates opportunities for us, it can also cause problems in many cases. From this aspect, we have to think afresh about our security matters," she said.

The prime minister was addressing the 3rd meeting of Digital Bangladesh Taskforce at the Gonobhaban.

She asked the authorities concerned to think about the (digital) security issue in all cases, starting from the money deposited in the bank.

Hasina said the excellence of technology will continue to increase day by day.

"We always need research. We have to do our research all the time so that we may also keep pace with the world.  And Bangladesh will set an exemplary example for all to follow and I want this," she was quoted as saying by BSS.

"Why will we be dependent on others when the people of our country have the talent? We can go a long way if we allow it (talent) to develop."

Directing the authorities concerned to develop the youth as efficient and skilled, the head of government said, "We have to prepare our youths. The young generation needs to be prepared because we are talking about the Fourth Industrial Revolution, not just thinking about it."
