Bangladesh Ambassador to the United States Tareq Mohammad Ariful Islam held meetings with representatives of BlackRock, Standard Chartered, MetLife, Sonali Exchange, Square Pharmaceuticals Inc and the president of the Business Council for International Understanding (BCIU) in New York.
The Bangladesh Embassy in Washington disclosed the meetings in a statement on Friday.
Discussions focused on ways to strengthen economic cooperation between Bangladesh and the United States, with particular emphasis on increasing foreign investment in Bangladesh, facilitating faster and easier remittance transfers by expatriates and expanding access for Bangladeshi products to the US market.
