Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today called upon the US business community to invest largely in Bangladesh’s renewable energy, shipbuilding, automobile and pharmaceuticals sectors, reiterating her offer of a dedicated ‘special economic zone’ (SEZ) solely for them.
“I invite you to invest in our many vibrant and high-potential sectors, such as renewable energy, shipbuilding, automobile, pharmaceuticals, light and heavy machineries, chemical fertilizers, ICT, marine resources, and medical equipment, among others,” she said.
The Prime Minister also called upon the US business leaders to explore opportunities and invest in Bangladesh.
She made this call while presenting a keynote speech at a high-level executive business roundtable on “US-Bangladesh Economic Partnership: Shared Vision for Smart Growth.”
The Bangladesh Prime Minister also inaugurated the US Bangladesh IT Connect portal (us.itconnect.gov.bd) at the event.
The US-Bangladesh Business Council organised the event at the Great Hall of the US Chamber of Commerce Washington, DC.
The Prime Minister hoped that the US-Bangladesh Business Council will play a significant role in advancing trade and investment cooperation between the two friendly countries.dhngkfdvk
