“Without this agreement Bangladesh’s interests will not be secured and the country will be deprived of economic and commercial privileges”, the minister told parliament in reply to a question posed by ruling MP Nurul Islam on Saturday.
“Bangladesh will get a chance to hold at least one discussion on trade and investment every year if Ticfa is signed with the United States. This will eradicate obstacles for the entry of Bangladeshi products’ into the US market,” he asserted.
