President Mohammed Shahabuddin on Tuesday sought Qatars investment in the Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in Bangladesh as he held a meeting with visiting Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani at the Bangabhaban.
"Bangladesh government has set up 100 SEZs for foreign investors and Qatari investors can invest there. They may invest in agro-production and processing, food packaging, smart agriculture and fertilizer production," he told the Emir.
President Shahabuddin said the Qatari investors can avail the comprehensive incentives and support in investing in some areas like petro-chemical, energy, machineries, IT, electronics, ceramics, agri-business and food processing in the SEZs.
Presidents Press Secretary Md Joynal Abedin briefed the BSS after the meeting.
Acknowledging Qatar as a valued partner of Bangladesh in the Gulf region, the President said the Emirs visit and singing of agreements and memorandums of understanding (MoUs) reflects the commitment of further expanding and deepening bilateral cooperation in days to come. —BSS
