British business delegation in Bangladesh

A British business delegation is visiting Bangladesh for three days to drive forward the partnership between the United Kingdom (UK) and Bangladesh for growth and prosperity of both the countries.

 

The visiting UK companies, experts in the field of development and humanitarian aid-work, will meet a wide range of development partners, government officials, and non- government organizations, BSS reports.

 

The delegation will engage with the parties to understand the scope of projects taking place and identify opportunities available for the supply of services and resources.

 

British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Alison Blake said: "the UK is the leading bilateral grant donor in Bangladesh and this visit provides excellent opportunities for UK businesses to share knowledge with partners and identify how best they can supply resources and services to the benefit of both our countries."

 

Mission leader Peter Lindsay said: "Of the almost 20 UK organisations represented, some already have business with Bangladesh, others are taking their first steps to entering this fascinating market."

 

"We will be meeting international donors, NGOs, key members of the Bangladesh business community and, of course, Government bodies-- so vital to the successful implementation of these aid funded projects," said Peter.

 

"There is a strong desire, from both sides, to further strengthen relations between our two countries, and this is the primary purpose of our trade mission," added the mission leader.
