PM urges N Korea to boost trade with Bangladesh

Sheikh Hasina also urged the North Korean government to boost trade with Bangladesh and import pharmaceutical, ceramic and garment products.

"North Korea can import world class Bangladeshi products such as pharmaceuticals, ceramics and readymade garments," she said.

Sheikh Hasina came up with the request when newly-appointed North Korean Ambassador to Bangladesh Ri Song Hyon called on her at her office on Tuesday.
