Mario Pilozzi, president and CEO of Wal-Mart Canada, led the seven-member team while Tipu Minshi, president of BGMEA, represented the Bangladesh RMG makers at the meeting.

Chiqui Cui, vice president (operations), Wal-Mart global procurement, and its Divisional Manager Jas Pooni were among the delegation members.

Pilozzi said if garments factories of Bangladesh improve their condition to satisfy international standard, they will get more orders from the world apparel market.

Wal-Mart has intensified its monitoring on labour and environment standards in garment factories following a press report on child labour in Bangladesh's garment factories.

The Wal-Mart has already stopped doing business with two local factories in Narayanganj after watching the videotapes of use of child labour in the factories by the SRC, the French language service of the CBC News.
