FBCCI to press for GSP at US forum

In a strong bid to regain the GSP (generalised system of preferences), the country's apex trade body is taking a strong move at a major business forum scheduled for September 24 and 26 at New York, USA. Kazi Akram Uddin Ahmed, president of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI), will lead the move at the high level business meeting, organised jointly by the American Chamber and American Business Council with International Chamber and United States Business Council Forum. "The demand for duty and quota free access of Bangladeshi products to the US market would be raised strongly at the business meetings and discussions," a FBCCI statement said on Tuesday, according to a news agency.
