Hasina among 100 leading global thinkers

Prime minister Sheikh Hasina has been named as one of the world’s 100 leading global thinkers by Foreign Policy, a Washington-based prestigious magazine of global politics, economics and ideas.
Hasina is among the 13 top global thinkers in the category ‘decision-makers’. She has been
named as a leading global thinker for her outstanding contribution towards addressing the issue of climate change, according to the foreign ministry here.
German chancellor Angela Merkel, Russian president Vladimir Putin and president of Mauritius Ameenah Gurib are the other heads of state and government who have been named along with the prime minister of Bangladesh as leading global thinkers in this category this year.
Every year, the Foreign Policy magazine recognizes the world’s preeminent thought leaders in its annual issue, ‘100 Leading Global Thinkers’.
The list, started in 2009, has become one of Foreign Policy’​s most-read features. Honorees include a wide range of leaders, advocates, innovators, artists, government officials, and visionaries from around the world.
The editors of Foreign Policy select the 100 Global Thinkers based on their standout contributions over the past year and their ability to translate ideas into action that change and shape the world.
In the past, US president Barack Obama, Indian prime minister Norendra Modi, Iranian president Hassan Rouhani, Mayanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi and former US president Bill Clinton were among the global leaders placed in this esteemed list.
