Calling upon Chinese companies to invest in Bangladesh, Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today said Chinese robust investment can be a game changer for Bangladesh economy.<\/p>\n
“I urge Chinese investors to make Bangladesh their home and their production hub…the young people are ready to accept that challenge,” he said.<\/p>\n
The chief adviser made the call while addressing the China-Bangladesh Conference on Investment and Trade in the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) office, Agargaon, here.<\/p>\n
The Bangladesh and Chinese governments jointly organised the conference.<\/p>\n
Recalling the longstanding Dhaka-Beijing relations, he said a couple of months ago, during his visit to Beijing, he requested Chinese President Xi Jinping to encourage Chinese companies to invest in Bangladesh as it aims to be a manufacturing and economic hub of the region.<\/p>\n
Prof Yunus said he was honoured that President Xi Jinping has pursued his words sending a high-powered Chinese business delegation to Bangladesh so quickly.<\/p>\n
Claiming that Chinese companies are the master of manufacturing in the globe and Bangladesh wants to be their partner, he said: “Your largest scale investment can be a game changer for our economy.”<\/p>\n
