President Md Abdul Hamid on Monday urged the investors of New Zealand, the country of Oceania, to come forward to invest in the livestock sector in Bangladesh.
He made the urge as he received the credentials of New Zealand's new non-resident High Commissioner to Bangladesh David Gregory Pine at Bangabhaban in Dhaka this evening.
Noting that Bangladesh produces various types of world-class products, including ships, ready-made garments (RMG), medicine and ceramics, the president said New Zealand can import these products.
During the meeting, the president said New Zealand was one of the first countries to recognise Bangladesh after 1971's independence, President Press Secretary Md Joynal Abedin told BSS.
He told the high commissioner that the relationship between Bangladesh and New Zealand is very good and this relationship is gradually expanding in many ways.
The head of the state thanked New Zealand for providing duty-free access to Bangladeshi products through which the existing bilateral trade and investment ties are expanding day by day.
President Abdul Hamid assured the envoy of providing all-out cooperation in discharging his duty here in cementing further relations between the two states.
Secretaries concerned and high officials to the president were present.
Earlier on his arrival at Bangabhaban, a contingent of the horse-mounted President Guard Regiment (PGR) offered the envoy guard of honour as part of the ceremony.
