WTO director general due today

Pascal Lamy

Pascal Lamy, director-general of World Trade Organisation, is scheduled to arrive in Dhaka today on a two-day visit to discuss trade-related issues, Commerce Minister GM Quader said yesterday.
Lamy will also visit Chittagong, besides holding meetings with the commerce, foreign and finance ministers.
Lamy's visit to Bangladesh is important as the country is largely dependent on WTO policies for overseas trade, Quader said.
Invited by the commerce ministry, Lamy also visited Bangladesh a few months ago.
