Next 7 months are crucial for Bangladesh: Press Secretary

Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam opined that the next seven months are crucial for Bangladesh's economy.

"The Interim Government, led by Professor Yunus, appears aware of the stakes. It has unveiled an ambitious plan to expand the capacity of Chittagong Port sixfold - to 7.86 million TEUs," he wrote in a statement posted on his verified Facebook account on Thursday (May 1).

Alam said this would not be possible without partnering with top global port operators.

If successful, such partnerships would send a strong signal to international investors and businesses: Bangladesh is open for business, he said.

"The next seven months are crucial. They could make - or break - Bangladesh," he added.
