Bangladesh could emerge as a shipbuilding hub in Asia utilising
advanced technologies, Danish Ambassador to Bangladesh Svend Olling said
here on Wednesday.
The envoy expressed keenness to
transfer knowledge and modern technologies here from Denmark for
modernising the country’s booming shipbuilding industry.
Olling
came up with the offer at a meeting with Industries Minister Dilip
Barua at his Shilpa Bhaban office at noon. Senior officials at the
ministry were present.
They discussed various aspects of Denmark’s support for Bangladesh’s industrial sector during the meeting.
Issues
relating to establishing the second unit of Karnaphuli Fertiliser
Company Limited (Kafco), modernisation of readymade garment industry and
improvement of working environment at the RMG sector and the living
standard of workers came up for discussion at the meeting.
A
Danish delegation, led by Commerce and Investment Minister Pia Olsen
Dyhr, will visit Dhaka in December to strengthen bilateral trade and
investment relations between the two countries, Olling informed the
Industries Minister.
He hoped the visit of the Danish
delegation comprising entrepreneurs of 10 leading companies would play a
significant role in boosting trade and investment between the two
countries.
At the meeting, Barua appreciated Denmark’s
support in Bangladesh’s hi-tech industrialisation and sought Danish
support to convert Chittagong Drydock into a modern shipbuilding yard.
Barua said the Danish entrepreneurs could come up either in joint-investment or under public-private partnership
