Minister called upon expatriate Bangladeshi and American entrepreneur and business communities to invest more in Bangladesh.
” I will urge upon the business community to take the opportunity to invest in Bangladesh and to import more quality products from Bangladesh” Minister said.
The speakers said that the business relationship with America should be properly utilized by Bangladesh. There is a great deal of information gap regarding investment opportunities in Bangladesh. Many of the US businessmen are unaware of Bangladesh’s excellent economic development and investment opportunities. Steps should be taken to eliminate these.
