Bangladeshi investors should invest more in Kosovo to expand the south Asian country’s export market in the landlocked nation, said Rizwan Rahman, president of Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) on Monday, 10 October.
Greater communication among the private sectors of both countries is needed now to boost bilateral trade with Kosovo, he said.
He made the call in a meeting with the visiting Deputy Foreign Minister of Kosovo Kreshnik Ahmeti at a hotel in Dhaka, the chamber said in a press release.
Bangladesh established its diplomatic relation with Kosovo in 2018 and the bilateral trade figure stood at only $0.31 million in 2020, which rose to $1.41 million in 2021, Rahman said.
He proposed organizing virtual B2B match-making sessions between the businessmen of the two countries to know each other and create new opportunities.
“Kosovo can also hire IT professionals, engineers and skilled workforce from Bangladesh. Garments and pharmaceutical products of Bangladesh also have high export potential in Kosovo.”
Kosovo is a free market, but to know each other in reciprocal exchange of business delegation can play a pivotal role, Ahmeti said.
