The President of the apex garment makers’ body of Bangladesh, the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association or BGMEA, has maintained Bangladesh and South Kore hold great potential to boost mutual trade through collaboration, especially in the area of apparel and textile sector.
Faruque Hassan, reportedly, made this observation during a recent meeting with South Korean Ambassador to Bangladesh Lee Jang-keun.
“…there are huge opportunities for both the countries to further engage in trade and investment and develop mutually beneficial economic ties,” reportedly, informed the BGMEA President to Lee Jang-keun when the latter called on him at the BGMEA office in capital Dhaka.
During the meeting, the BGMEA chair, reportedly, also requested the South Korean envoy to encourage Korean businessmen to invest in the backward linkage industry of Bangladesh, especially the non-cotton textile sector even as they discussed possible areas of expanding trade between the two countries and how can collaborate meaningfully to pave way for boosting bilateral trade.
