Calling upon Chinese companies to invest in Bangladesh, Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today said Chinese robust investment can be a game changer for Bangladesh economy.

“I urge Chinese investors to make Bangladesh their home and their production hub…the young people are ready to accept that challenge,” he said.

The chief adviser made the call while addressing the China-Bangladesh Conference on Investment and Trade in the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) office, Agargaon, here.

The Bangladesh and Chinese governments jointly organised the conference.

Recalling the longstanding Dhaka-Beijing relations, he said a couple of months ago, during his visit to Beijing, he requested Chinese President Xi Jinping to encourage Chinese companies to invest in Bangladesh as it aims to be a manufacturing and economic hub of the region.

Prof Yunus said he was honoured that President Xi Jinping has pursued his words sending a high-powered Chinese business delegation to Bangladesh so quickly.

Claiming that Chinese companies are the master of manufacturing in the globe and Bangladesh wants to be their partner, he said: “Your largest scale investment can be a game changer for our economy.”

Prof Yunus mentioned that tens of millions of Bangladesh’s young workforce would desperately need good jobs. বিস্তারিত
