The visit will also include meetings with British International Investment (BII), (the UK’s Development Finance organisation) and its local partners, highlighting the UK’s role in enabling green finance and sustainable infrastructure in Bangladesh.
UK Trade Envoy to Bangladesh Baroness Winterton said: “The UK and Bangladesh share a dynamic and growing economic partnership. I am here to reaffirm our commitment to supporting Bangladesh’s remarkable development journey and to explore new opportunities for trade and investment that benefit both our nations. I look forward to seeing UK-backed investments on the ground, investments that are creating jobs, strengthening supply chains, and delivering real economic value for both Bangladesh and the UK.”
British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Sarah Cooke said, “The UK Trade Envoy to Bangladesh’s second visit in six months reiterates the UK’s strong commitment to the country’s economic reform and long-term growth.
The UK-Bangladesh trade partnership is going from strength to strength, and we look forward to cementing it even further, for mutual prosperity.”
