Encourage British entrepreneurs to invest in Bangladesh
Adviser urges expatriates
Unb, Dhaka
Foreign Affairs Adviser Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury yesterday urged expatriate Bangladeshis to encourage foreign investors, particularly the major British entrepreneurs, to invest more in manufacturing and other sectors of Bangladesh. Speaking to a 16-member business delegation from the British-Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce (BBCC) at the foreign ministry, he said measures are being taken to create a more congenial atmosphere for investment in the country. He urged the members of BBCC to work for further improvement of bilateral relations between Bangladesh and the UK. The adviser praised the chamber's role in promoting bilateral trade and commerce for more than one and a half decades now. He urged the members of the BBCC delegation to encourage members of the Bangladeshi community to "integrate themselves in the mainstream politics, business and other activities of Britain". The delegation welcomed the reform measures of the present caretaker government in all sectors, particularly for the Chittagong and Mongla ports. The delegation of BBCC, the apex business organization of the British Bangladeshi expatriates, is in Bangladesh on a 12-day tour to explore new sectors of trade and investment in their native land.
