Bangladesh’s apex garment makers’ body, the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association or BGMEA, has sought support from Russia to address the bilateral trade barriers so as to facilitate export of ‘Made in Bangladesh’ apparel items and other products to Russia.
According to media reports, BGMEA President Faruque Hassan discussed this issue when the Russian Ambassador to Bangladesh Alexander Vikentyevich Mantytskiy, called upon him recently.
… barriers to transactions through banking channels and tariff complications are stumbling blocks to apparel exports, reportedly, maintained the BGMEA President to the Russian envoy while underlining that Russia is a promising market where there is a great demand for ‘Made in Bangladesh’ garments.
Also present at the meeting was First Secretary at the Russian Embassy in Dhaka Anton Vereshchagin and BGMEA Vice-President Miran Ali.
