Deal soon with Eurasian nations to boost trade: minister
 
Bangladesh will sign an agreement with Russia and four other neighbouring countries soon to form a joint economic commission to boost trade with the Eurasian countries, Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi said yesterday.

Munshi also said he will go to Russia on May 30 to sign the agreement.

Russia and four other neighbouring countries can be a big market for Bangladesh as the region with over 18 crore people have a commendable purchasing capacity, he said.

Recently, the minister also signed an agreement with Czech Republic to form a joint commission to avail trade benefit after having discussions between the two nations.

He spoke while addressing a group of journalists at a workshop on “Trade and WTO rules” at the office of the Economic Reporters Forum (ERF) in Dhaka.

He said Czech Republic can also be a big export destination for Bangladesh as the people of this country have $30,000 per capita income.

“The unemployment rate of Czech Republic is one of the lowest in the region and the Czech investors are also interested to invest in power and machinery sectors in Bangladesh.”

Director General of the WTO Cell Munir Chowdhury, ERF President Saiful Islam Dilal and General Secretary SM Rashidul Islam also spoke.
