Bangladesh seeks continued support from Poland to ensure safe return of Rohingyas


Dhaka, Feb 6 (UNB) - Poland’s first Deputy Minister of Energy Grzegorz Tobiszowski on Wednesday said the Polish government is ready to invest US$ 1 billion in Bangladesh, mainly in mining sectors including coal mining.

The Polish Deputy Minister of Energy met Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen at the latter’s office and discussed the matter.

Apart from bilateral issues, views on regional and international issues of mutual concern were exchanged during the meeting.

Both sides agreed to maintain cooperation in different multilateral platforms.

The Polish Deputy Minister of Energy noted the existing friendly relations between the two countries and stressed enhancing cooperation, particularly in the sectors like science and technology, industry, trade and commerce.

He said the Polish side is interested to sign MoU/agreement on cooperation in those fields to strengthen the existing bilateral relations.

Recalling the support of Poland in Liberation War in 1971, Foreign Minister Dr Momen expressed gratitude to the Polish people and stressed further enhancing the existing bilateral relations between the two time-tested friendly countries in the days ahead.

He thanked the Polish government for extending support for the Rohingya crisis and urged the Polish government to continue its support for ensuring safe and dignified return of Rohingya from Bangladesh to Myanmar, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs here.

On trade issues, he mentioned the Polish government may import pharmaceuticals from Bangladesh on large scale considering the quality and price in addition to RMG.

The Deputy Minister assured Dr Momen of conveying this message to the appropriate authorities in Poland.

Mentioning the investment-friendly environment of Bangladesh, Dr Momen invited the Polish investment in Bangladesh in the sector like- energy, leather and footwear, agro-processing, food processing and packaging.

He also urged the Polish government to recruit Bangladeshi semi-skilled and skilled workers and professionals in the sectors like healthcare, construction, agriculture, industries and tourism to fulfill labour shortage in Poland.

He also asked to consider easing visa issuance process for Bangladeshi businessmen, visitors and students.

Putting emphasis on the cooperation in Blue Economy, the Foreign Minister suggested that the two countries may explore the possible areas of cooperation in the promising blue economy sector.

I did not want to believe the news. I thought it is, as usual, another BAL propaganda. We have to wait to see if Poland will ever invest in coal mining in BD but wiki says it has tremendous expertise in this field. It is possible that they will invest their expertise in coal mining in BD in its NW regions in Rajshahi and Dinajpur. I do not know about Polish coal mines, but ours are all below ground and not in the hills/mountains. The latter locations are easy to extract. Underground needs money to dig parabolic/curved tunnels.

"Coal mining in Poland produced 144 million metric tons of coal in 2012, providing 55 percent of that country's primary energy consumption, and 75 percent of electrical generation. Poland is the second-largest coal-mining country in Europe, after Germany, and the ninth-largest coal producer in the world".
 
Good good. Didn't hear the name Poland for the last 5 years in our country's economics. And now they wish to invst a billion $s.

Momen miah on a roll here.
 
Whatever you do Bangladesh, don’t export your trash (semi skilled workers/ labors) to Europe. They’ve already done enough damage in ME (situation is improving nowadays) and I don’t want Bangladeshis to be viewed negatively in Europe now.
 
Poland has coal mines.... lots of them....but they are all crap....no tech is used....they pollute ....

Poland is not rich enough to invest 1bn dollars anywhere...the live on EU handouts....

BD need not waste time with pollaks

Well well, let's not use the word pollack now.

Us being racists is bizarre. I have made some educated friends in college from Polland before - they are a newly developing economy in Europe and they have some talent in their country (just like ours).

Agree that actually we may be in a better position to invest $1 Billion in Poland.

Maybe do a joint venture with their railway, tram sector and maybe even shipyards (Gdansk?).

Damen has a JV in that city I believe as I recall...
