The business community of the country should work together with the government to materialize Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's vision in making Bangladesh a developed country by 2041.
Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi on Saturday said this while inaugurating a national committee secretariat of International Chamber of Commerce-Bangladesh (ICCB) at Gulshan in the capital.
In his address, Munshi appreciated the role played by the business community in the overall development of the country and making Bangladesh the fastest growing economy in the world.
He congratulated ICC Bangladesh President Mahbubur Rahman, members of the executive board as well as the members patrons in setting up a state-of-the-art secretariat, and expressed his hope that in future ICCB will play a similarly positive role for further development of the country.
The minister also launched the ICCB business directory which contains basic information about Bangladesh, information for trade and investment and FDI. The first directory was published in 2008.
