The CA made the remarks when new South Korean Ambassador in Dhaka Park Suk-bum paid a courtesy call on him at his office.

Appreciating the caretaker government's performance, particularly on reforms and anti-crime and anti-corruption drives, the envoy said South Korea fully supports its reform activities.

Both the chief adviser and the envoy stressed the need for exploring and utilising the untapped potentials of Bangladesh and Korea in various areas of cooperation for the benefit of the people of two countries, according to Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Syed Fahim Munaim.

The CA urged the envoy to encourage his country's investors to invest more in Bangladesh taking the advantages of business-friendly climate.

Regarding Korean Export Processing Zone (KEPZ) in Chittagong, the CA called for early operation of the KEPZ for the benefit of Koreans and Bangladeshis.

The envoy thanked the CA for providing licence to South Korea for the EPZ, which he said will create a lot of employment for Bangladeshis.

He emphasised high-level bilateral visits to consolidate relations between the two Asian countries. The CA said Foreign Adviser Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury will visit South Korea in June.

As the envoy said South Korea is keen to invest in the power sector in Bangladesh, the CA urged him to talk with the energy adviser.

The envoy invited the CA to visit South Korea. Similarly, the CA through the envoy invited the Korean prime minister to Bangladesh.
