The country's knitwear manufacturers on Monday requested the European Union (EU) to extend GSP facility for at least twelve years.
Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BKMEA) leaders made the request during a meeting around 1:00pm.
Assuring them of extending the support, the EU suggested that Bangladesh should focus more on enhancing the country’s image to the world by ensuring workplace and environment safety.
A BKMEA delegation led by its President AKM Salim Osman and an EU delegation led by its Ambassador Rensje Teerink in Dhaka exchanged views at the BKMEA office in the capital.
First Vice President of BKMEA Mansoor Ahmed and Second Vice President Fazlee Shamim Ehsan, among others, were part of the delegation of the knitwear body.
