Dr Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury thanked Douglas Broderick for his personal support and cooperation.

Speaking to the media later Dr Iftekhar Chowdhury said: "the World Food Program stood by us in the post-cyclone and Sidr period when we needed them. Today we are looking to a bumper boro production. There is no option but to become self-sufficient in food".
