Qatar has extended its full support to the reform agenda of Bangladesh’s interim goverment, its Ambassador Seraya Ali Al-Qahtani said today.
Ambassador Al-Qahtani called on Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus at the state guest house Jamuna, where he conveyed the message from his government.
“Qatar is eager to provide all sorts of support to Bangladesh,” the Qatari ambassador told the CA.
“This is wonderful,” Yunus said, thanking the Qatar emir for the support and for being a close friend of Bangladesh.
The chief adviser stressed the need for a deepening trade and investment relationship with Qatar. He invited Qatari businesspeople to invest in Bangladesh and relocate their factories to the country’s many economic zones.
“Bangladesh is now ready for business. We want Qatari businessmen to explore opportunities here in Bangladesh,” he said, adding that Dhaka would hold an investment summit in early April.
The Qatari ambassador appreciated the invitation, saying he hopes more business people from his country will visit Bangladesh very soon.
