The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) has requested the consul general of Bangladesh in Hong Kong to extend more support and services to buyers, especially in obtaining a visa to visit Bangladesh for meeting their apparel suppliers.
Israt Ara, director general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and consul general designate to Hong Kong, paid a courtesy visit to BGMEA President Faruque Hassan in Dhaka Monday.
Faruque congratulated Israt on her new appointment as the consul general in Hong Kong, a major trading hub where most of the apparel brands have regional offices.
He also called on her to cooperate with the members of the BGMEA who need to visit Hong Kong to participate in international apparel exhibitions.
The fairs provide a great opportunity for the garment manufactures of Bangladesh to have business interactions with potential buyers, he added.
