The two met onstage at the inauguration of Bangladesh’s largest tech event, Digital World 2017, on Wednesday at the Banganandhu International Conference Centre or BICC in Dhaka.
The Hanson Robotics creation was called to the stage soon after Hasina inaugurated the event, wearing a Jamdani top and a skirt. The two then conversed in English.
“Hello Sophia, how are you?” Hasina said.
“Hello, Honourable Prime Minister,” Sophia responded. “I am fine, thank you. It is such a pleasure to meet you today.”
“How do you know me?” asked Hasina.
“Well, I have read and learned about you. I also know that you are the daughter of the great leader and Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. You are also called the Mother of Humanity and the one who envisioned Digital Bangladesh.”
“And also, your granddaughter has the same name as mine – Sophia.”
