"The G-20 should recognize explicitly that there are some members of the global community, such as the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), who require support to enable them to benefit from the processes of globalization," he said.
Rahman submitted his suggestion before the ICC G20 advisory Group for its consideration and inclusion in the policy recommendations.
The ICC G20 Advisory Group, an initiative of the ICC, consulted with the CEOs of leading regional and global companies to deliver business input on economic growth and job creation to G20 leaders, said an ICC press release issued here today.
The roundtable was held in Hong Kong on September 22-23 hosted by ICC honorary chairman Victor K. Fung, also Chairman of the Li & Fung group of companies.
Outcomes of the discussions will form a basis for business views being brought to the G20 Summit, 3-4 November this year.
Victor K. Fung said recent events have shown the fragility of economic recovery, and highlighted the need for forward- looking measures to support trade, global economic cooperation and job creation.
"Business has an important contribution to make to the global recovery in terms of job creation. And a concerted "jobs agenda" from global leaders would in turn do much to boost confidence in the business community," he said.
ICC Secretary General Jean-Guy Carrier said "Trade will play a key role in tackling the jobs crisis", adding that "Economic growth depends largely on the capacity of G20 governments to improve the conditions for international trade and job creation, and business stands ready as a partner in this recovery."
The roundtable brought together CEOs of leading companies from Bangladesh, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia and France.
The ICC G20 Advisory Group is, among other things, encouraging G20 leaders to reenergize multilateral trade negotiations prior to the World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference in December.
The ICC G20 Advisory Group - which is comprised of more than 20 members at the helm of global corporations such as Daesung, Hanwha, Infosys Technologies, Nestle, McGraw Hill, Repsol, Royal Dutch Shell and SEB - is building a platform for substantive business engagement with the G20.
The other members of the ICC Bangladesh delegation attended the consultation are ICC Bangladesh Vice-President Latifur Rahman, Apex Adelchi Footwear Chairman Syed Manzur Elahi, and MCCI President Major Gen Amjad Khan Chowdhury (Retd).
