The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) has sought the support of the Bangladesh High Commission in Canada to explore more trade opportunities, including apparel exports, in the North American country.
Bangladesh High Commissioner in Canada Dr Khalilur Rahman paid a visit to BGMEA President Faruque Hassan in Dhaka Wednesday.
During the meeting, the BGMEA presiden said that the Canadian market holds great potential for Bangladesh’s apparel exports. He sought the high commission’s support in exploring more trade opportunities in Canada.
Dr Khalilur Rahman assured the BGMEA president of all possible support from the Bangladesh High Commission in Canada.
During a meeting, Shahiduallah Azim, Vice-President of BGMEA, Abdullah Hil Rakib, Director of BGMEA, and Md Nurul Islam, Chair of the BGMEA Standing Committee on UD-Woven and Knit, discussed the current state of the readymade garments (RMG) industry. In particular, they addressed how the sector has been struggling in recent times amid a depressed global economy and rising inflation.
The talks also focused on trade opportunities in Canada and ways to seize them. Faruque requested the high commissioner to step up diplomatic efforts to boost the ties between the two countries and ensure trade benefits for Bangladesh in the Canadian market after it graduates from the least developed country (LDC) category. The BGMEA president also sought cooperation from Dr Khalilur Rahman in promoting Bangladesh and its RMG industry in Canada.
