The premier will deliver her speech at 7:30 pm on Thursday, according to the prime minister's office. The speech will be broadcast live on state platforms.
Hasina is serving as the prime minister for the third consecutive term after her party won the 11th parliamentary election by a landslide on Dec 30, 2018.
She formed a new government on Jan 7, 2019. No leader in the country’s political history has been at the helm for this long.
In a speech to the nation on Jan 7 last year, the Awami League chief pledged to continue the efforts to develop the nation and curb corruption.
