Thailand keen to invest more in Bangladesh
Thailand is interested to invest in agro-based sectors in Bangladesh, thanks to geological advantage and port facilities, said the leader of the visiting Thai delegation yesterday.
Songsak Limba Nayen spoke in a meeting with the leaders of Chittagong Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) at Hotel Agrabad in the port city. Thai members of Thai-Bangladesh Business Council were in the delegation. CCCI organised the meeting chaired by its president Murshed Murad Ibrahim.
Nayen said they will try to convince Thai entrepreneurs to invest in Chittagong.
Ibrahim said Chittagong is a favourable zone for business. He urged Thai entrepreneurs to invest in electronics, paper, textile, readymade garments, steel and agro-based industries.
The CCCI president assured the entrepreneurs of all sorts of help and cooperation from the trade body as well as from his part.
Chittagong is a very comfortable zone for business, said Ali Ahmed, former CCCI president.
He said the two countries have lots of similarities in terms of culture, social values, food habit and natural beauties that will attract more Thai investors to come and pour money in the country.
Shafiur Rahman, former president of Chittagong Chamber, urged the government to set up an export processing zone for Thai entrepreneurs in Chittagong like the Korean EPZ.
Bangladesh is a rich country with 160 millions people, said Migpant Chayavichitsilp, president of Thai-Bangladesh Business Council. He said there are representatives from 15 Thai business groups in the visiting team who are very much pleased to see the favourable atmosphere in Chittagong.
Thai delegates are keen to invest in the port city.
