Zillur invites Turkish investment in revival of jute industry
Commerce Adviser Hossain Zillur Rahman, now on a visit to Turkey, has invited Turkish investment in the revival of Bangladesh's jute industry currently underway.
He also listed the facilities his country offers for the foreign investors, which include cheap labour, tax holiday and infrastructural support.
The call for investment came during the adviser's meeting with Turkish Minister for Industries and Foreign Trade Kurshad Tuzman in Ankara on Tuesday, according to an official handout yesterday.
He told Tuzman that ready-made garments (RMG), pharmaceuticals, textiles, jute and jute products, energy, leather and ceramics are the most potential sectors of business between the two countries.
Tuzman said food processing, textile, construction industry and health machineries could be the potential fields of trade and investment between the two countries.
He also said his government is considering establishing direct flights between Turkey and Bangladesh soon in order to boost the bilateral trade.
The Turkish minister proposed to hold the pending 3rd session of the Joint Economic Commission (JEC) meeting in Ankara during the first half of 2009, the handout further said.
"Turkish trade delegation will be sent to Bangladesh in every 6 months," Tuzman said.
