Chinese investors are looking at Bangladesh. In July 2020, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina invited Chinese entrepreneurs to explore opportunities in Bangladesh.
Chinese government and entrepreneurs showed interest. The Chinese government announced duty-free access for 97% products manufactured in Bangladesh. Chinese entrepreneurs started contacting with Bangladeshi counterparts.
Advisor to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Salman F Rahman, took initiatives to ease the process of Chinese entrepreneurs in investing. He informed Chinese entrepreneurs that Bangladesh had achieved a sustainable economic growth of more than 7% in the past few years and created an excellent business climate. Infrastructure was developed both physically and digitally. Now Chinese entrepreneurs can invest in the country and then export it back by using the duty-free access facility.
Salman F Rahman said this during a virtual opening ceremony of a report "Destination Bangladesh". He was the chief guest and State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shahriar Alam was the special guest of the ceremony.
State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shahriar Alam said in his speech that bilateral ties between Bangladesh and China are now at the highest level.
