Adviser to the interim government on the Ministry of Commerce Sk Bashir Uddin on Wednesday urged the Swedish entrepreneurs to come up with more investment in Bangladesh, reports BSS.
“Bangladesh and Sweden have long-standing friendly relations. Sweden can further accelerate the relationship by investing in the country’s Special Economic Zones (SEZs),” he said.
The Commerce Adviser said this when Swedish Ambassador to Bangladesh Nicolas Weeks made a courtesy call on him in his office at Bangladesh Secretariat in the city, said a press release.
As they discussed the issues relating to bilateral trade and investment in Bangladesh, the adviser said a favourable environment is prevailing in Bangladesh for foreign investors.
Noting that the student-led mass uprising has created new potentials, Bashir said Bangladesh is now a lucrative destination for investment.
The adviser said the interim government has formed reform commissions in various sectors, the most notable of which is the ‘Labor Reform Commission’.
“A good working environment and security are being ensured for the workers,” he added.
