Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina urged Indian businessmen to invest in Bangladesh in energy, infrastructure and transport sectors. The head of the government of Bangladesh mentioned about the special economic zone as well as the hi-tech park.
Urging to set up industries in Bangladesh by ‘reducing time, cost and buy-back system’, the Prime Minister said that currently 100 Special Economic Zones and 28 Hi- Tech Park is being set up. Now is the time for Indian business groups to look more towards Bangladesh to take advantage of its economic growth, low costs and huge consumer base.
The Prime Minister made this call while participating in a high-level business event jointly organized by the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) at the ballroom of the Prime Minister’s residence Palace on Wednesday (September 7) morning, the third day of his visit to Delhi.
After the meeting, Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi conveyed this information. The minister also said that Narendra Modi has been invited to Bangladesh to see the Padma Bridge.
He said that the Prime Minister told the present businessmen that Bangladesh is generous in terms of investment. This sector will pave the way to harness the goodwill of the two friendly countries and bring economic prosperity to the region. Due to the geographically advantageous location of Bangladesh, Indian investors will be able to export their products not only to the northeastern states of India, but also to Nepal, Bhutan and Southeast Asian countries.
