Bangladesh Garment Manufactures and Exporters Association (BGMEA) President Faruque Hassan had called upon KIABI, a French clothing brand, to develop stronger partnership with their Bangladeshi suppliers to boost business and derive mutual benefits.
He said Bangladesh is increasingly looking into moving up the value chain by diversifying products and upgrading technologies.
“Global buyers like KIABI have scope to work together with their suppliers to develop innovative products and expand their business base in Bangladesh,” the BGMEA chief said.
Hassan was speaking at a programme organized by KIABI on the occasion of visit of its Collection Director Julie Silvert and HR Leader Franck de Saintignon to Bangladesh at a city hotel on Tuesday.
