Barua says BSTI modernisation continues

Industries Minister Dilip Barua said modernisation of Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution (BSTI) is going to turn it into a well-equipped international standard organisation.

Once the BSTI, the lone state-run watchdog agency for monitoring food items and manufacturing products, is made an effective organisation by equipping it with modern apparatuses, it will help expedite the export process.

The minister was speaking at a discussion on `Tackling Climate Change through Standards', organised by the BSTI on the occasion of the International Standard Day at its seminar room in Dhaka yesterday.
