Bangladesh’s Chief Adviser, Professor Muhammad Yunus, urged both countries to take full advantage of their strong bilateral relationship and asked for increased Turkish investment in the nation, highlighting that Dhaka is now open for business. He made these remarks at Yunus’ office in Tejgaon, Dhaka, during a meeting with Ramis Sen, the Turkish ambassador to Bangladesh.
Turkey’s textile and clothing sector, a vital pillar of its economy, is cautiously hopeful about the future despite obstacles in 2023, including falling exports, more costs, and fewer jobs. As the world’s third-largest producer of textiles and fourth-largest supplier of clothing, the nation is concentrating on technological breakthroughs, market diversification, and sustainability to improve its standing in the global marketplace.
Ambassador Sen pointed out that the $1.1 billion in bilateral trade that already exists between Bangladesh and Turkey shows that there is a lot of room for both countries’ exports to increase. He underlined that by utilising Turkey’s solid commercial linkages, cooperation with Turkish businesses might open up new export prospects, especially in the EU and nearby regions.
The Rohingya problem, methods to improve student exchanges between the two largely Muslim nations, and approaches to fortify trade, economic, and defence alliances were among the other topics discussed.
