Former commerce minister and president of Chittagong City BNP Amir
Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury said that the country will have to come out of
traditional conflicting politics for sustainable growth in readymade
garments (RMG) sector. As the country’s economy has almost become
dependent on the RMG sector, any turmoil in the sector will lead to an
economic disaster, he feared.
BNP has always been committed to supporting the development of the sector and hence the party has exempted RMG sector from political programme like hartal, he said, adding that his party would continue support to the sector in future.
He was addressing as chief guest at the closing ceremony of three-day CAFAXPO-2012 on the Gymnasium premises of MA Aziz stadium here on Saturday evening.
Kharu said if BNP comes to power in future, it would extend all out co-operation to solve all the existing problems in the sector and take initiatives to construct permanent exhibition centres both in Dhaka and Chittagong so that the BGMEA and other trade bodies do not need to hold fairs in open fields.
Reminding the contribution of BNP to the development of RMG sector, he said Bonded Warehouse facility was the base of RMG sector and it was introduced by the founder of the party late president Ziaur Rahman.
Chaired by Shafiul Islam Mohiuddin, president of BGMEA, the closing session was also addressed by former state minister for environment and forest Jafrul Islam Chowdhury MP, first vice-president of BGMEA Nasir Uddin Chowdhury and the chairman of BGMEA standing committee for CAFAXPO-2012 SM Abu Tayub.
Nasiruddin Chowdhury said the fair is not for selling and buying products. “It is mainly for displaying our capability, potential and latest development in the RMG sector.” He said more than 5,000 guests visited the fair till Saturday evening.
Mohammad Shahidul Alam Chowdhury, assistant manager of Chittagong Denim Limited, who had a stall in the fair, told The Independent that a good number of local and foreign buyers visited the fair and their response was very positive. “We are looking forward to having good quantity of order following the fair.”
