Visiting Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao today said his country was ready to extend cooperation with Bangladesh in trade and commerce, with a particular eye on agriculture, jute, marine fisheries and research.
The Chinese minister, who led a large delegation of Chinese businesspeople and industrialists at the China-Bangladesh Conference on Investment and Trade in Dhaka today, made the comments when he called on Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus at the State Guest House Jamuna in Dhaka.
“The Chinese companies that have come with me are excited. You expressed the direction of Bangladesh’s future development. The Chinese companies told me that they are now more confident about investing in Bangladesh after your initiatives,” Wentao told the Chief Adviser.
Referring to growing consumerism in Bangladesh, the Chinese minister said he was impressed by the presence of shoppers in Bangladeshi malls even after 10:00 pm and cited statistics that suggested that by 2030, Bangladesh would become the ninth largest consumer market in the world.
The Chief Adviser insisted that there are huge opportunities left unexplored in Bangladesh’s villages, especially in the field of agriculture, and in deep water marine and fish water river fisheries.বিস্তারিত
