About 20 representatives from Cambodia, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand and the Philippines are taking part in the course.
Asian Productivity Organisation (APO) of Japan and National Productivity Organisation (NPO) of Bangladesh jointly organised the six-day 'training course for lead auditors on SA-8000.'
With Additional Secretary of the Industries Ministry ABM Korshed Alam in the chair, the inaugural secession was addressed, among others, by Director of the NPO Dr M Nazrul Islam and Programme Officer of the Industry Affairs of the Japan-based APO Zainuri Juri.
