The South Korean Ambassador, while assuring his country’s cooperation to Bangladesh and its people in ensuring further development of the country’s society, touched upon the issue of security threat in the country saying that threat to security is not an unique problem of Bangladesh but rather a common issue all over the world.
It may be mentioned here that the garment industry of Bangladesh reportedly had to suffer due to security issues in the country with some RMG buyers postponing their visit to Bangladesh to place orders and some others urging manufacturers to meet them abroad to talk business in the recent months.
