Jute and Textile Minister Abdul Latif Siddiquee has urged industrialists to create more skilled manpower for the garment sector.
He was speaking at the inauguration session of the four-day exhibition of textile and garments machinery at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in the city Tuesday, reports bdnews24.com.
Siddiquee said Bangladesh not only had to import machinery for the garment sector but also foreign technicians to operate them.
"I think we should create skilled manpower."
Mr Siddiquee said, "Work towards creating the man behind the machine. You will have to come forward to create skilled manpower."
"If we can do so, the money spent on foreigners will remain in the country," the minister said. Industries Minister Dilip Barua said, "The precondition of local and foreign investment is political stability. The government is determined to maintain the stability."
