Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has assured investors of full government support for revival of the closed and loss-making state-owned factories.
"We want you to move forward and prosper. We will support you in every possible way," he said while addressing investor business leaders at a roadshow organized for local and foreign investors at his office in Tejgaon on Saturday.
Industries, Textiles and Jute ministries and Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) jointly organized the event to attract investment for revival of the non-performing and closed factories, PM's Deputy Press Secretary Mostafa Zulfiquar Hasan told BSS.
Speaking on the occasion, Tarique Rahman said primary responsibility of a political government is to remove obstacles and create pathways to overcome the challenges.
However, he said the government alone cannot accomplish this task. "The reality is that we cannot solve all problems at once. But it is possible to address them gradually and systematically," he said.
Referring to the more than three-hour discussion at the event, the Prime Minister said, "I will simply say- let us work together to bring about change. There are problems and there are challenges.
But we have also realized that if we all work together, we can overcome these difficulties."
During the event, detailed information on 44 factories was presented before the business leaders and investors.
The presentations highlighted the factories' locations, existing infrastructure, investment incentives, transportation connectivity, and potential for production expansion.
Business representatives later participated in an open discussion session, where they shared their views and raised nearly 50 questions, which were answered by the relevant authorities.
