The chief advisor of the interim government has asked for the partnership of US businessmen in the new journey of Bangladesh. Muhammad Yunus.
Addressing the traders, he said, I am here to listen to you and seek your advice on how to improve our investment environment. We want your partnership in this new journey.
Local time Thursday (September 26) in a meeting with businessmen in a hotel in New York. Yunus says these things.
He said that the interim government is determined to improve the business environment in Bangladesh through multifaceted reforms.
Dr. Yunus said, Bangladesh is not only a market of 170 million people. It is fast becoming one of the top 10 consumer markets in the world. Besides, Bangladesh is strategically located in South and South-East Asia and China with potential to capture the market of 3 billion people.
The chief adviser said that no country is free from problems. Bangladesh is also not free of problems. But I see a developing Bangladesh, a country committed to freedom and justice.
Dr. Yunus told the business leaders of the United States that the United States has long been an important economic and development partner for Bangladesh. As a single country, the US is our main export country and our top source of FDI (Foreign Direct Investment). But trade is unusually low.
The chief adviser said that most of the US investments in Bangladesh are in risk-free or low-risk sectors such as energy. As the United States seeks to diversify its supply chain under its Indo-Pacific policy, Bangladesh is strategically positioned to be an important partner in achieving this goal.
