US diplomat suggests better infrastructure for development

Infrastructure improvement is one of the challenges Bangladesh has to combat for its development, Jon Danilowicz, chargé d'affaires, at the US Embassy in Dhaka, said.
“Inland water transportation is important for the development of transport network in Bangladesh,” Danilowicz said.
He spoke at a seminar on 'Traffic Congestion and its Solution by River Transportation' co-organised by International Business Forum of Bangladesh Chittagong chapter and Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association in the port city.
River transportation should be actively sought as the best alternative to the long-time consuming Dhaka-Chittagong highway, he suggested.
He urged the IBFB and BGMEA to continue with their advocacy in finding the solution and its advocacy.
