BGMEA President Md. Siddiqur Rahman urged the government for necessary steps to ensure that the UK’s temporary ban on air cargo directly from Dhaka to the country is lifted soon.
He made the call at a press conference at BGMEA on 10 February, a day after the UK government imposed the ban due to lack of proper security measures at the airport in Bangladesh.
The BGMEA President said the ban would hurt our exports due to the ban as the UK is the second biggest garment export destination for Bangladesh among the EU countries after Germany. He called the government to hold discussion with the UK government to resolve the issue.
BGMEA Vice President (Finance) Mohammed Nasir and Director Miran Ali were also present at the press briefing.
