The Bangladesh Economic Zone Authority (BEZA) has organised a seminar to attract foreign investors for Bangladesh.

BEZA Executive Member Abdul Azim Chowdhury spoke at the seminar as the chief guest.

"BEZA is working on setting up various special economic zones, including Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Shilpa Nagar, with the help of government organisations," he added.

"Bangladesh's joint venture agreement with Japan's Sumitomo Corporation for the establishment of a Japanese economic zone has been described as a turning point for foreign investment in Bangladesh," he stated. 

"I hope that foreign investment flows will soon be installed in Bangladesh from Dubai-Expo 2020," he continued.

Bangladesh Ambassador to the UAE, M Abu Zafar, presided over the seminar.

He said the seminar has created a scope for making investments in Bangladesh, and suggested that all concerned should take the initiative forward.
