Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen has said that building partnerships in Bangladesh could be beneficial as the nation is a lucrative destination for foreign investment.
"With each of our partner countries, the ties and engagements have considerable mutuality of interest and benefit," he said.
The Foreign Minister was speaking on Saturday at a dinner programme in the city hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce in Bangladesh to celebrate the 28th US Trade Show.
The engagements like the US Trade Show will indeed contribute to the fulfillment of Bangladesh's national and global desires for development, he said.
"We want to engage with friendly countries in a way that is mutually beneficial for national and global development ambitions," Momen said.
Describing Bangladesh as a land of opportunity, the Foreign Minister said, "I strongly believe that this event will significantly contribute in augmenting the economic relations, trade and business between these two friendly countries."
He said that Bangladesh is a country with a market of 165 million people and a country with great human potential because of the demographic dividend and its hardworking people. "These make Bangladesh a hotspot for investment."
US Ambassador to Bangladesh Peter Haas and American Chamber of Commerce in Bangladesh president Syed Ershad Ahmed also spoke, among others.
