Mentioning the existing friendly bilateral trade relations between Vietnam and Bangladesh, Khan said Bangladesh government encourages Vietnamese entrepreneurs to invest in joint ventures in manufacturing electrical and electronic products.
He also invited Vietnam’s businessmen to invest in other potential sectors enjoying various incentives offered by the government.
Kasem urged the Ambassador to make joint efforts to explore business opportunity in agriculture and fisheries sector of Bangladesh. “Joint business and economic forum at the government level will boost bilateral trade.”
He said DCCI will send a business delegation to Vietnam in the middle of March this year.
