Kuwait keen to invest more in power
Kuwait is keen to invest in Bangladesh's power, energy and infrastructure and also wants to help Bangladesh for dredging the rivers.
The interest was expressed when Abdullatif Ali Ibrahim Al-Mawwash, the outgoing ambassador of the Gulf country, paid a farewell call on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at her official Ganobhaban residence yesterday.
During the meeting, they discussed a wide range of issues of bilateral interests, including expansion of trade and business between the two friendly countries, Prime Minister's Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad told reporters.
Sheikh Hasina urged the Kuwaiti government to recruit more manpower from Bangladesh, including doctors, engineers, technical persons and other skilled and semi-skilled persons.
The Prime Minister also conveyed thanks to the Kuwait government for its support, especially in power, irrigation and infrastructures sectors over the years through Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development.
She expected that Kuwait would ratify the bilateral technical cooperation agreement on manpower signed in November 2000 between the two countries.
Regarding expansion of bilateral trade, Sheikh Hasina said Kuwait may import Bangladeshi quality products like readymade garments, ceramic products, pharmaceuticals, toiletries, leather and leather goods and melamine to reduce the trade gap between the two countries.
