A high-powered delegation of Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) leaves Dhaka today for Spain to sign a deal with Spanish clothing retail giant Inditex.

"We'll meet with Inditex President Amancio Ortega and Vice President and Chief Executive Pablo Isla on our visit," said BGMEA President Abdus Salam Murshedy, team leader.

The memorandum of understanding (MoU) covers a wide range of purposes, as Inditex will take steps to extend cooperation to BGMEA in different sectors, he said.

Murshedy said Inditext will help BGMEA improve the work environment in the garment factories in Bangladesh.

Other members of the delegation include BGMEA second Vice President (VP) Shafiul Islam (Mohiuddin), VP Faruque Hassan, VP (finance) Siddiqur Rahman, former BGMEA Director SM Mannan and Inditex Director in Bangladesh Rezaul Karim.

Inditex Group, one of the world's largest fashion retailers, has 4,350 stores globally for its eight brands, including Zara, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Oysho, Pull and Bear, Stradivarius, Zara Home and Uterque.
