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.”

China’s President Xi Jinping Makes ‘Historic Visit’ to Bangladesh
China’s
President Xi Jinping landed in Dhaka on Friday 15 October 2016 marking the first visit
by a Chinese head of state to Bangladesh in 30 years.
Chinese state-media heralded the visit as a diplomatic “milestone” of “historic significance,” as the two countries will sign at least 21 agreements amounting to nearly $40 billion investment in Bangladesh.
According to Reuters, China will also sign off on nearly $24 billion worth of loans to the country — Bangladesh’s biggest foreign credit line to date.
The
deal comes after of a series of investments made by Chinese companies
in Bangladesh in the past several months — including a $1.1 billion deal
signed this week by Chinese cable manufacturer Jiangsu Etern Co. to strengthen the South Asian country’s power grid, and a $3.1 billion deal by China Railway Group to build nearly 170 km of railroads connecting the capital Dhaka to southwestern cities.
China
plans to finance around 25 projects, including a 1,320 megawatt (MW)
power plant, and is also keen to build a deep sea port, Bangladesh
junior finance minister M.A. Mannan said.
"Xi's
visit will set a new milestone. (A) Record amount of loan agreements

Philippine central bank ordered to return recovered money to Bangladesh
From bdnews24.com
The court has declared Bangladesh as the rightful owner of the funds, totalling $15 million, Ricardo Paras III, chief state counsel of the Philippines' Department of Justice, said while reading out a copy of the court's ruling to a Reuters reporter.
Unknown hackers tried to steal nearly $1 billion from the Bangladesh central bank's account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in early February, and succeeded in transferring $81 million to four accounts at Rizal Commercial Banking Corp in Manila.
During a Philippine Senate hearing into the heist which ended in May, a casino junket operator claimed to have received $35 million of the stolen funds but only returned $15 million.
It is not clear what happened to the remainder of the money.
Bangladesh had to file a petition staking its claim to the money before it could be turned over to them.
"(The) court ordered the release of the cash now in the BSP vault in favour of the People's Republic of Bangladesh," Paras told Reuters.
Bangladesh is also seeking to recover another $2.7 million frozen by the Philippines' casino regulator.
Bangladesh Bank's assistant spokesperson Anwarul Islam on Monday afternoon told bdnews24.com that the bank had also heard about the Philippines court's order.
"We will brief the media on this at a press conference at 5pm," he said.
