The government of Bangladesh has approved the import of 500,000 tons of refined diesel from Kazakhstan and two cargoes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Singapore to meet urgent energy demands arising from the Middle East conflict. The approval was granted on Saturday, April 4, during an online meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Government Purchase chaired by Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury. The information was confirmed by Siraj Uddoula Khan, Public Relations Officer of the Ministry of Finance.
The meeting reviewed three proposals for importing 1.6 million tons of diesel and 100,000 tons of petrol. Among these, the committee approved the direct purchase of high-speed diesel from Kazakhstan’s Kazakh Gas Processing Plant LLP and LNG from Aramco Trading Singapore Pte Ltd. Other proposals, including imports from UAE-based DBS Trading House FZCO and Oman-based Maxwell International SPC, were withdrawn by the Energy Division after receiving approval from the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs.
The decision reflects the government’s effort to secure energy supplies through direct procurement to address immediate fuel shortages caused by regional instability.
