A high-profile delegation of development and renewable energy experts, led by former Norwegian minister Erik Solheim, met with Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus to discuss investment opportunities in Bangladesh. The delegation expressed strong interest in investing in small-scale solar power plants, the carbon market, and agroforestry projects in the country. They also showed enthusiasm for jointly exploring hydropower investment possibilities in Nepal, as Bangladesh is actively working to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels in the coming years.

During the meeting, Chief Adviser Yunus emphasized the importance of these initiatives and stressed the need to enhance solar energy systems and explore electricity imports from Nepal and Bhutan. He also highlighted Bangladesh’s keen interest in leveraging opportunities in the global carbon market.
