The country's apex trade body has called for the local and foreign entrepreneurs to invest in the economic zones.
It urged the local businesses to brand Bangladesh as the most favourable investment destination in this region through courting investment in the facilities.
The call was made when Bangladesh Economic Zone Investors Association (BEZIA) president and Bashundhara Group vice-chairman Safwan Sobhan Tasvir met the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) chief on Wednesday.
FBCCI president Md Jashim Uddin says the government is providing the best investment-friendly infrastructure and policy support in Asia for investment in the special economic zones.
He urges the association to get the message of these benefits across to global entrepreneurs for further investment.
Mr Jashim stresses developing Indian side infrastructures of land ports to bolster bilateral trade with India.
At the parley, Mr Tasvir highlights the current investment status at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Shilpanagar at Mirsarai, Chattogram, and other economic zones across the country.
He says Bangladesh has huge potential in toy manufacturing, PVC and petrochemical industry.
FBCCI vice-president Md Amin Helaly and Md Habib Ullah Dawn, director Rejaul Kariem Rejnu and secretary general Mohammad Mahfuzul Hoque, BEZIA director Mohammad Mostafa, member Iqbal Hossain Chowdhury and secretary Md Rafiqul Islam also attended at the courtesy call.
