Press Secretary Shafiqur Alam has stated that Bangladesh’s exports to the United States will not decline; rather, they are poised to increase. Following an emergency meeting chaired by the Chief Adviser on Saturday, he said, “We hope for a positive response. Export volumes are expected to grow, and steps will be taken accordingly—not just in the US but in all countries where Bangladesh exports.”
The meeting began at 7 PM and involved senior officials including the Chief Adviser, advisors for finance, commerce, and foreign affairs, secretaries of relevant ministries, and the Governor of Bangladesh Bank. Notably, BIDA held a three-hour meeting with major business leaders, giving significant consideration to exporters’ concerns.
