Chinese solar panel giant Longi to invest in Bangladesh: envoy

Longi, the largest solar panel manufacturer in the world, has decided to set up an office and invest in solar panel manufacturing in Bangladesh, Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Yao Wen said here today.

The ambassador said several top Chinese solar panel manufacturers visited Bangladesh in December to explore opportunities to invest in the country.

They made the visit after Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus extended an invitation to Chinese companies to relocate their manufacturing plants here as part of the Interim Government’s plan to turn the country into an economic hub, Chief Adviser Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam said.

Ambassador Yao Wen said, of the companies that visited Bangladesh, at least two Chinese firms, including Longi, have decided to set up offices and plants in the country.

“They will invest in Bangladesh very soon,” he told Chief Adviser Prof Yunus at the State Guest House Jamuna here.

Yao Wen said Chinese firms have been the largest investors in Bangladesh since August 5, when the autocratic regime of Sheikh Hasina was ousted from power.

He said dozens of Chinese companies have lined up to invest in Bangladesh as a dedicated Chinese export processing zone is expected to work soon.বিস্তারিত
