Bangladesh and India can complement each other in the development of apparel and textile industries of both countries, says Faruque Hassan, President, BGMEA. At a meeting with Narain Aggarwal, Former Chairman, SRTEPC, Hassan urged for more collaboration and cooperation between the two neighbors to explore avenues towards deriving two-way trade benefits.
Both entrepreneurs discussed possible areas of collaboration between BGMEA and SRTEPC to identify mutual business opportunities and work to make the best use of them. They also discussed the possibility of both the associations working together to create a bridge between apparel and textile businessmen of Bangladesh and India to facilitate meaningful business interactions.
Hassan said, Having a strong textile industry producing man-made fibres and fabrics, India can meet the demand of Bangladesh’s RMG sector that plans to diversify its products from cotton to non-cotton. Aggarwal also urged BGMEA’s exporters to participate in the upcoming exhibition ‘Source India 2022’ scheduled to be held on March 20-22, 2022 in Surat, India.
