Chief Adviser Dr. Yunus has emphasized the strategic importance of Chattogram Port, calling it the "heartbeat of the economy." He stated, “No new economic path can be forged without this port. It's not an unfamiliar place to me — I grew up here and have been trying since day one to transform it.” Stressing the need to turn Chattogram into a world-class port, he added, “We must reform the economy, and the port is our key asset. Without it, we can’t step into a new economic era.” Dr. Yunus compared the economy to a diseased heart, saying, “No blood can circulate unless the heart — the port — is strong. Top global ports have been consulted, and even landlocked Nepal relies on our port. Many countries have 20 to 30 terminals like this. Unless we strengthen ours, it won’t last long.”
