Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today called upon Japanese companies to invest in Bangladesh and help its economic recovery and rebuilding efforts.
“Today, we are in a situation when we need your support most. We have come a long way. The rest of the journey should be of doing things together with fun and enjoyment,” he told a roundtable in Tokyo.
Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) arranged the meeting at its headquarters.
Top executives of Japanese companies in Bangladesh were present at the meeting with significant business interests.
Prof Yunus said during the past 16 years, everything Bangladesh had was demolished in many ways.
“Our financial situation brought to negative situation, rather than zero. Banking system collapsed… our foreign exchange reserve went down, administrative and police system collapsed. That’s our starting point,” he said.
The Chief Adviser said the past ten months of his interim government’s journey have been about building things piece by piece.বিস্তারিত
