Bhutan has shown keen interest to import electronic products including refrigerators, motorcycle, air conditioner and home appliances produced by Walton.
Bhutanese Ambassador to Dhaka, Pema Choden, visited the Walton Hi-Tech Industries Limited in Gazipur on Saturday and expressed her desire to expand bilateral trade relation between two countries, said a press release.
“I am very impressed by visiting the Walton production unit. It was not established long ago, but has a great many products in the electronics market in Bangladesh and now been eying on export,” said the Bhutanese envoy in her reaction.
“We want to import a large volume of Walton products having a big demand in Bhutan,” said Yeshey Selden, managing director of State Trading Corporation of Bhutan Ltd (STCBL), a sole distributor of Walton products in Bhutan.
Currently, the trading corporation is importing LED (Light Emitting Diode) and colour line televisions from Walton.
The envoy invited Walton to come up with Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Bhutan as it offers low cost of electricity and special economic zones.
Yonten Gyamtsho, counsellor (Trade) of Bhutanese Embassy in Dhaka, Tashi Pemo, head of Business of STCBL, and Sangay, liaison officer, were present during the visit.
