First Ticfa meeting in April
Bangladesh and the United States will discuss trade and commerce at their first meeting under Trade and Investment Cooperation Forum Agreement in Dhaka in April, Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed said in a statement yesterday.
The meeting comes after the two nations signed Ticfa in Washington on November 25 last year.
Ticfa provides a forum to discuss ways to remove trade disputes between the two countries.
On the World Trade Organisation's recent meeting in Bali, Ahmed said the government would also take all possible steps to help realise the potential benefits of preferential treatment decisions for LDCs taken at the meet.
In the last six months, Bangladesh exports were 3.08 percent higher than the target, which raises hopes that the $30.5 billion export target for the year could be achieved, Ahmed said.
