Ctg port is heart of country’s economy: CA

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus said, “The heart of the country’s economy is the Chittagong Port. From here, Bangladesh’s economic prosperity will spread worldwide.”

He made the comment while delivering his speech at the port around 10:15 am on Wednesday (May 14).

Prof Yunus said, “Chittagong Port is the heart of Bangladesh’s economy. This heart must be made world-standard. Chittagong Port is the main factor if Bangladesh wants to change its economy. That is why I have asked to call the best port managers in the world.”

He also said, “Bangladesh’s economy cannot be expanded without changing the size of the heart of the port. If Nepal, Bhutan and the Seven Sisters are connected to the port, all will benefit.”

“The port needs treatment. We need to bring foreigners for this. This heart will become stronger if it gets treatment,” Prof Yunus said.
