Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus has said his government's aim is to transform Bangladesh into a manufacturing and economic hub as he held a closed-door meeting with several prominent foreign investors here.
"We want to be a top manufacturing country in the world," he said at the meeting on Wednesday as he welcomed all sorts of foreign investment in Bangladesh.
The meeting was arranged aiming to attract investment in some of the country's key sectors as several notable figures including 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 were present, CA's Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder told BSS today.
Addressing the investors, the chief adviser said his government is offering one of the most attractive investment climates in the region.
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.
Prof Yunus encouraged the investors to visit Bangladesh and engage in discussions with the relevant agencies.
Foreign Adviser Md Touhid Hossain and Senior Secretary Lamiya Morshed were also present at the meeting.
