Bangladesh’s interim administration is seeking to transform the country into a regional manufacturing and economic powerhouse, opening its doors to all forms of foreign investment, Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus said.
Yunus made the remarks during a closed-door meeting with leading foreign investors in the Qatari capital, Doha on 24 April, according to a press statement issued by the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing.
“We want to be a top manufacturing country in the world,” he declared, adding that the interim government is offering one of the most attractive investment climates in the region.
He invited investors to visit Bangladesh and engage directly with the relevant agencies to explore business prospects.
Among those present at the gathering were a former deputy prime minister of the Maldives, a member of the Malaysian royal family, a former Malaysian minister, a Qatari royal family member, prominent bankers, and several high-net-worth non-resident Bangladeshis.
The investors expressed keen interest in exploring opportunities across a range of sectors, including manufacturing, waste management, energy, banking, and tourism—particularly in the scenic resort district of Cox’s Bazar.
Foreign Affairs Adviser Touhid Hossain and Senior Secretary Lamiya Morshed also attended the meeting.
