Bangladesh want to be top manufacturing country in world

Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus has said that Bangladesh wants to be top manufacturing country in world, emphasising that his government is offering one of the most attractive investment climates in the region.

He held a closed-door meeting with several prominent foreign investors in the Qatari capital on Thursday, aiming to attract investment in some of the country’s key sectors.

Addressing the investors, the Chief Adviser said the interim government aims to transform Bangladesh into a manufacturing and economic hub, welcoming all forms of foreign investment.

The gathering included notable figures such as a former Deputy Prime Minister of the Maldives, a member of the Malaysian royal family, a former Malaysian minister, a Qatari royal family member, top bankers and several wealthy non-resident Bangladeshis.

The investors expressed interest in exploring opportunities in sectors such as manufacturing, waste management, energy, banking and tourism-particularly in the resort district of Cox’s Bazar.

The Chief Adviser encouraged the investors to visit Bangladesh and engage in discussions with the relevant agencies.
