Bangladesh will effectively face all challenges on the way of its march toward a successful graduation from LDC group in 2024, said commerce minister Tofail Ahmed.
“Bengalis know how to face challenges . . . they will face all challenges properly to ensure its successful graduation from LDC group,” said the commerce minister while speaking at the launching programme of ‘Export Diversification and Competitiveness Development Project on Thursday.
Tofail said Bangladesh achieved independence under the leadership of Bangabandhu and now the country is on the way of achieving economic emancipation under the leadership of Bangabandhu’s daughter Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
The commerce minister thanked the countries and organizations for extending assistance and cooperation to Bangladesh for increasing its competency in overseas trade and competition.
Emphasizing on diversification of export products, he said Bangladesh must increase its export items and expand export market. Steps have already been taken in the 7th Five Year Plan for expanding export products and export market, he said, adding that special thrust has been given on ICT, pharma industry, shipbuilding, agro processing products and leather products.
