Regarding the discussion on the suspension of export orders, the Chief Advisor's press secretary Shafiqul Alam said there is no need to panic about it.
“We have repeatedly said that we will take some steps so that Bangladesh's exports to the United States will increase, not decrease,” he said.
He said this at a press briefing at the Intercontinental Hotel in the capital on Monday.
Traders have expressed concern that the export orders are being suspended. In response to a question from journalists, Shafiqul Alam said, “I think these are short-term. There is no need to panic about it. We have repeatedly said that we will take some steps so that Bangladesh's exports to the United States will increase, not decrease. That is all we have told the traders.”
He said, “A very good meeting was held with the traders yesterday (Sunday). Former BGMEA President Faruk Hasan, BKMEA Executive President Mohammad Hatem and others, Tapan Chowdhury, Nasim Manzur, Lubana Haque were present there. I told them that the steps we are taking will increase our exports to the United States, not decrease.”
In response to a question about sending a letter to Donald Trump, the chief advisor's press secretary said, "Our letter is a big message."
