UNB, Dhaka :
US Ambassador to Bangladesh Earl R Miller on Tuesday said Bangladesh offers enormous opportunities for investors and he would be working to bring top executives of American companies here to strengthen the trade and investment relations with Bangladesh.
“Because the opportunities here are absolutely enormous,” he said adding that he is committed to working and see the US trade delegations, US trade missions and American CEOs (chief executive officers) visit Bangladesh over the next three years.
Such trade delegations usually visit Beijing and New Delhi frequently to explore business opportunities and the US envoy now wants to see them in Dhaka, too.
The US Ambassador made the remarks while responding to a UNB question at a press conference held in a city hotel on ’26th Annual
US Trade Show 2019.’ The American Chamber of Commerce in Bangladesh (AmCham) and the United States will jointly host the three-day trade show that will begin on Thursday.
AmCham President Md Nurul Islam, Vice President Showkat Ali Sarkar, former AmCham President Aftab ul Islam and Economic Officer at the US Embassy here Jim Town were, among others, present at the press conference.
Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi will inaugurate the US Trade Show as the chief guest on Thursday morning that will have two seminars – “Education USA” and “Business Visas” on the second and third days respectively.
Ambassador Miller said Bangladesh is playing a greater role on the regional and global stage, and there is much more interest on what is happening in Bangladesh and the opportunities that Bangladesh offers.
He appreciated entrepreneurial energy in Bangladesh and the energy in the private sector and highlighted how the two countries and its people can be benefited through stronger partnership. “The entrepreneurial energy is driving the country forward.”
Miller said, it is an opportunity to showcase the high quality products and services that US companies provide to Bangladesh and recognise the contributions of the US companies made towards Bangladesh’s economic development.
