He clarified that, while formulating the law, the similar laws of EU (GDPR), Brazil, South Africa, Canada, US (California) were closely observed and followed. 

            The open discussion session of the workshop was moderated by the Foreign Secretary. He highlighted that data protection is an epistemological contribution of Bangladesh in the domain of technology which is both foundational and existential. He also stated that to ensure safety, security and integrity data must be protected and cyberspace governance, content moderation, privacy, sensitivity, availability, and accessibility are the keywords for data protection. He expressed that data protection is a justice, economic and enforcement issue and a civilizational construct. He mentioned that the law that is discussed attempts to complement Bangladesh’s national priorities in development. The government wishes to connect the markets and the factors of production to global supply chains in an orderly and safe environment.
