Economic Reporter :
Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed on Sunday said country will not face any gas shortage once the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import from Qatar is started.
“The import will begin after the construction of LNG terminal in 2018,” he said after having a meeting with Qatar Ambassador in Dhaka Ahmed Mohamed Al-Dehimi at his ministry office.
Qatar is one of the leading LNG exporting nations and Bangladesh has already signed MoU with the country for importing LNG to meet gas shortage.
Apart from the export of man power, the minister said, bilateral trade between the two countries is not much longer. “But, still there is scope to export more man power.”
