Tuesday, 9 February 2010
KUWAIT CITY, Feb 8 (BSS): Kuwait today showed keen interest in providing all-out support to different development projects in Bangladesh and also expansion of bilateral trade and business between the two brotherly Muslim countries.
The assurance came when visiting Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had separate meetings with Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah and her Kuwaiti counterpart Sheikh Nasser Al- Mohammed Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah here.
The Bangladesh premier spent a very busy day in the Kuwait city today, the second day of her three-day state visit in the oil rich Arab country.
During the meetings, they discussed matters related to different bilateral interests and expansion of trade and business between Bangladesh and Kuwait for the mutual benefit of two peoples.
Other important issues like Bangladeshi manpower export, river dredging and Kuwaiti investment in Bangladesh's development sector came up prominently in the discussion during these meetings, said Prime Minister's Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad while briefing the newsmen.
During the meetings, the Amir and the Prime Minister of Kuwait greeted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for her party's landslide victory and her election as the Prime Minister of Bangladesh through the last general election held in a free, fair and peaceful manner.
They expressed the hope that the parliamentary democracy would be further consolidated on a firm footing in Bangladesh under the able and prudent leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Earlier in another meet with businessmen Sheikh Hasina urged the Kuwaiti chamber leaders to invest more in Bangladesh, taking advantage of the "lucrative" trade incentive package being offered by the present government.
"I invite all of you to come forward with investments in Bangladesh, which would be a lucrative place for you to assist in further strengthening our country's relations," she said while addressing a luncheon hosted in her honour by Kuwait Chamber of Commerce and Industries (KCCI) at the Kuwait Chamber House here.
Hasina also assured the Kuwaiti business communities of providing all possible assistance and cooperation in the process of their investment in Bangladesh.
