State Minister for Power and Energy Nasrul Hamid on Monday sought Australian experience and expertise in the development of Bangladesh’s power sector.
He made the call when Australian High Commissioner in Bangladesh Gregory A Wilcock met him at his ministry office, reports the UNB.
“Both of the nations could be benefited from sharing experience,” he told the Australian envoy, adding that Bangladesh needs huge investments in the power sector.
Both the minister and the high commissioner discussed different issues in the power and energy sector, including setting up of LNG Terminal and regional cooperation.
