Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said the deep seaport here will play a great role in the country’s economic development due to its geographical location.
“The deep seaport at Matarbari will contribute immensely to country’s economic development due to its geographical location,” she said while inaugurating the sea port channel at a programme here this afternoon.
The Prime Minister said once the deep seaport starts functioning, the big ships can leave directly for foreign seaports while loading and offloading of goods will be easier and cheaper and time-saving.
She said not only Bangladesh, but also Nepal, Bhutan and India can use this seaport.
“Through such use, we can make the deep seaport more effective with regional cooperation,” she said.বিস্তারিত
