Bangladesh offers land to Qatar in economic zones

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday offered land to Qatar in the special economic zones being set up across the country.

She also sought more help from the gulf country in the energy sector, particularly in LNG import.

“Bangladesh is setting up 100 special economic zones. Qatar can take land in the zones for its investors and entrepreneurs to make investments on a larger scale,” she said.

Sheikh Hasina said these while Qatar's Labour Minister Dr Ali bin Saed bin Samikh Al Marri paid a courtesy call on her at her Ganabhaban residence in the afternoon, reports BSS.

Prime Minister’s Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim briefed reporters after the meeting.
