FBCCI invites Sri Lankan investors to invest in Bangladesh

The president of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) Mahbubul Alam has invited Sri Lankan businessmen to invest in the Special Economic Zones (SEZ).

The FBCCI President made this call during a courtesy meeting with the High Commissioner of Sri Lanka in Bangladesh Dharmapala Weerakkody at FBCCI's Gulshan office on Sunday (21 January).

Commercial Counselor of the Sri Lankan High Commission Srimali Jayarathna, FBCCI Vice Presidents Shomi Kaiser, Rashadul Hossain Chowdhury (Ronni), Secretary General Md. Alamgir, advisor Manzur Ahmed and others attended the meeting.

The FBCCI president said the government is establishing 100 special economic zones across Bangladesh. All kinds of facilities including oil, gas, and electricity are being provided in these economic zones apart from one-stop service and e-platform. Sri Lankan businessmen can be benefitted by setting up industry here on their own or in joint ventures.

“Garments, pharmaceuticals, eco-tourism and hospitality are some of the potential sectors in Bangladesh. If Sri Lankan investors want to invest in Bangladesh, FBCCI will provide all kinds of support,” he added.
