Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus has invited global investors to invest in Bangladesh in a greater way, as the country is ready to strengthen trade and investment ties with an improved business and investment climate.
"We have always been saying Bangladesh is ready for enhanced investment," Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam told reporters.
He highlighted Dr Yunus' extensive engagements on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum's annual summit, according to a BSS report.
Alam said a business- and investment-friendly environment is prevailing in Bangladesh.
He mentioned that Bangladesh has eased investment conditions and improved the capacity of the Chittagong port.
With a large young population, Bangladesh can become an export hub, the press secretary added.
Focusing on the chief adviser's extensive engagements since his arrival, he said the beauty of the World Economic Forum annual meeting is that top executives of global organisations, including a prominent presence of private sector leaders, interact with heads of government and state.
Meanwhile, DP World Group Chairman and CEO Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem met Chief Adviser Dr Yunus on Thursday morning (Davos time) and discussed issues of mutual interest, CA's Deputy Press Secretary Apurba Jahangir told BSS.
DP World is a multinational logistics company based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, specialising in cargo logistics, port terminal operations, maritime services, and free trade zones.
Sir Nick Clegg, President of Global Affairs at Meta Platforms Inc., also met the Chief Adviser during the World Economic Forum Summit at Davos.
Prof Yunus continued his broader engagement with global leaders at the 2025 annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, with over a dozen engagements planned for Thursday, the third hectic day since his arrival in the Swiss city on January 21.
The Forum has brought together governments, businesses, and civil society members to improve the state of the world.
