BD wants Ticfa meeting in March

Saturday, 25 January 2014


Bangladesh is discussing with the United States (US) to host the debut meeting under the much-talked-about deal – Trade and Investment Cooperation Forum Agreement (Ticfa) – by the first week of March.
Bangladesh Ambassador to the USA Akramul Qader already had a meeting with US Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asian Affairs Nisha Biswal in Washington  Friday where the issue was also discussed.
“Yes, we’re planning to arrange the meeting (of Ticfa) at the beginning of March. But it depends on mutual understanding between both sides,” Ambassador Quader told UNB over phone Saturday.
