Reinstate GSP facilities

Tipu urges USA

Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi yesterday urged the United States (US) government to restore the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) facilities for Bangladesh. “The US should return the GSP facilities to Bangladesh. The suspension of GSP is not a financial loss for Bangladesh. But it is a matter of the country’s image. US should withdraw the decision regarding GSP. The new US ambassador to Bangladesh can take initiatives in this regard,” he said.

The minister was speaking as the chief guest at the inauguration session of the three-day US trade show at the Sonargaon Hotel in the capital, said a press release.

The American Chamber of Commerce in Bangladesh (AmCham) and the US embassy in Dhaka are jointly hosting the 26th edition of the trade show.
