Tuesday, 2 February 2010


Speakers at a seminar in the USA said that there was enormous potential in Bangladesh for the non-resident Bangladeshis (NRBs) to make investment in various sectors and reap unmatched returns on their money, reports UNB.
The seminar titled 'Investment Opportunities in Bangladesh for the NRBs: The Untapped Potentials' was held at the Bangabandhu Auditorium of Bangladesh Embassy in Washington, DC, Sunday, according to a message received in Dhaka Monday.
Jointly organised by the Venture Investment Partners Bangladesh Ltd (VIPB), the AIMS of Bangladesh and CMSL Securities Ltd, in collaboration with the Bangladesh Embassy in Washington, the event was co-hosted by the American Association of Bangladesh Engineers and Architects (AABEA), Washington chapter.
Speaking on the occasion, Bangladesh Ambassador to the US Akramul Qader informed the audience that pursuing vigorous "Diaspora diplomacy" is one of the priority areas of the mission.
"Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has outlined a vision for turning Bangladesh into a middle-income country by 2021 and channelling foreign investment is a vital component of that vision," he told the meet.
