The RMG industry is not only making contribution to the socio-economic development of Bangladesh, but also bringing glory for the nation, said Faruque Hassan, President of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA).
“The apparel industry is carrying the Made in Bangladesh trade mark across the world and we are all proud of it. The industry belongs to all people of this country — development of the sector means development of Bangladesh and betterment of its people,” he said.
“The next phase of Bangladesh’s economic growth will hugely depend on the industrial sector where the apparel industry would play the pivotal role. So it’s the responsibility of all people to protect the industry for the greater interests of our country,” he said.
Faruque Hassan came up with the observations while speaking at an event titled “Sustainability of the Apparel Industry of Bangladesh: Policies, Scopes and Constraints” organized by Solidaridad Network Asia and ESTex Foundation at a hotel in Dhaka on Thursday.
The program aims to provide a platform to policy makers and sectoral stakeholders for highlighting the policy gaps and needs and constraints, exploring new opportunities and initiating pathways for implementing solutions to the environmental, social, and economic issues to achieve sustainability of the apparel industry of Bangladesh.
