Information Minister Hasanul Haque Inu urged the Speaker of Tower Hamlets Council in the United Kingdom Sabina Akhter to encourage the Bangladesh-born British citizens to invest in Bangladesh.
The Information Minister made the appeal on Sunday while the Speaker of the Tower Hamlets paid a courtesy call on him at the Information Ministry in the city.
Chairman of the Centre for Non-Resident Bangladeshis (NRB) M S Shokil and NRB member Fakor Ali were present during the meeting.
Inu said Bangladeshi-born British citizens earned great recognition from the UK government for their enormous contribution to the British economy.
“This is high time for them to invest in their motherland as Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has created a congenial environment for investment, Inu added.
