Bangladesh to see more investment, jobs through positive branding: Momen

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen today said foreign investment flow will increase significantly in the country contributing to job creations through government efforts to brand Bangladesh positively across the world.

 "We want to change the wrong perception about Bangladesh completely. We want to help the world know that Bangladesh is a land of opportunities with its vibrant economy," he told reporters after inaugurating "Bangabandhu Gallery and Library" at State Guest House Meghna.

Dr Momen said Bangladesh is sometimes described as a poverty-stricken country and hard hit by natural disasters like cyclones and Bangladesh wants complete change of such narratives in the world.

He said the government has taken up various programmes through its 78 missions abroad to brand Bangladesh positively.

"We have opened Bangabandhu Corners in 68 of 78 missions abroad. Bangladesh and Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman are inseparable," Dr Momen said.

The foreign minister said the young people of the country will get many opportunities once investment in Bangladesh keeps growing.

"Nobody can stop Bangladesh. We are walking towards building Sonar Bangla by 2041," he said.
