"The Chittagong Port is not being given to anyone, it will be renovated," said Shafiqul Alam, the press secretary of the Chief Adviser.

He made the comment while addressing a function titled ‘CMJF Talk’ at the auditorium of Capital Market Journalists Forum (CMJF) in Dhaka on Sunday (May 25) noon.

Shafiqul Alam said, “We want the world’s biggest companies to manage Chittagong port. We will not give Chittagong port to anyone. We want them to invest in the terminal and manage it.”
