Bangladesh’s Commerce Minister Khandaker Abdul Muktadir has said there is no reason for concern regarding the Bangladesh–United States trade agreement, emphasizing that such international accords are built on mutual interests. Speaking to reporters after a meeting with US Assistant Trade Representative for South and Central Asia Brendan Lynch at the Commerce Ministry on Tuesday, he described the deal as a ‘win-win’ arrangement designed to benefit both sides.
The minister explained that the current government inherited the agreement as part of state continuity and intends to use it to expand trade and investment. He noted that Bangladesh has sought clarification from the US regarding a recently initiated investigation and has already shared its position in response. Muktadir stressed that Bangladesh does not engage in dumping and that its export sectors, particularly ready-made garments, operate under strict international compliance standards.
He further stated that the agreement includes provisions for amendment or adjustment if any clause contradicts Bangladesh’s interests, describing this as a ‘self-correcting element.’ The meeting also discussed strengthening bilateral trade and investment ties.
