Kuwait keen to invest in Bangladesh

Kuwait is ready to help Bangladesh in projects of its choice through the Kuwait Development Fund and is pretty much eager to invest in Bangladesh.
Foreign Minister of Kuwait Sheikh Mohammed Al Salem Al Saba expressed the interest during a meeting with Foreign Adviser Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury on Thursday evening in the Senegalese capital on the sidelines of the OIC Summit.
Sheikh Saba expressed his deep gratitude to the foreign adviser for the support that Kuwait had received from Bangladesh during the 1st Gulf War and also for the assistance that Bangladeshi peacekeepers had accorded to Kuwait thereafter.
“We see Bangladesh as a great friend,” Sheikh Mohammed told the foreign adviser.
Iftekhar mentioned the large expatriate Bangladeshi community in Kuwait who are contributing to Kuwait's development and inquired about the possibility of Kuwaiti cooperation in upgrading skills.
The Kuwaiti foreign minister stated that Kuwait was prepared to help Bangladesh in projects of Bangladesh's choice through the Kuwait Development Fund.
He said Kuwait was “eager and willing” to invest in Bangladesh and referred to Bangladesh's “novel contributions with regard to micro-credit”.
He recalled his various past meetings with the foreign adviser in different international conferences and extended to him a “very warm personal” invitation to visit Kuwait as soon as possible.
“We hope to continue our dialogue in Kuwait,” the Kuwaiti Minister added.
Mosud Mannan, director general of the International Wing of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was also present at the meeting.
