Energy adviser Muhammad Fouzul Kabir Khan stated that many individuals who have accumulated significant wealth in Bangladesh are those who take bank loans but fail to repay them, reflecting a longstanding pattern of crony capitalism within the country. Speaking as the chief guest at an event organised by the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority in Dhaka, he noted that the system itself has enabled such practices. He emphasised that wealth should be built through production and innovation and said the government aims to create new opportunities for the private sector.

At the same event, Apex Footwear Managing Director Syed Nasim Manzur highlighted that not only businesspeople but also bureaucrats have amassed wealth, adding that money laundering has often occurred through bureaucratic channels. Addressing Bangladesh Bank Governor Ahsan H Mansur, he called for strict action against those who misuse public resources, including electricity and gas, stressing that honest businesspeople should not bear responsibility for their misconduct. The meeting was chaired by Ashik Mahmud Bin Harun, executive chairman of both the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority and the Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority.

China has introduced its first fully operational flying hospital, marking a groundbreaking advancement in mobile healthcare. Built inside a modified passenger aircraft, the medical unit is equipped with a sterile operating cabin, diagnostic systems, and 5G-enabled telemedicine support. This innovation allows doctors to conduct examinations, perform minor surgeries, and receive real-time guidance from specialists on the ground bringing modern medical care directly to remote, disaster-affected, or underserved regions.

The airborne hospital has already completed its first successful mission, delivering essential eye, ENT, and minor surgical services in western China. With advanced imaging tools, clean zones, and rapid deployment capability, the model presents a transformative approach to bridging healthcare gaps. China views the initiative not only as a technological milestone but also as a crucial step toward expanding accessible, high-quality medical services beyond major cities.
