Talking to BSS, EPB Director (Fair and Display) Abu Mukhles Alamgir Hossain said within the European Union, France is a major economic partner of Bangladesh.
"Both countries have developed strong economic cooperation and are enjoying warm business relationships. In fact, ready-made garment is the major Bangladeshi product for export earnings from France. Export of other products, such as leather and footwear, shrimps and frozen fish, ceramic and pharmaceutical articles, has also increased," he added.
He further said Bangladesh aims to widen French investors portfolios, advise French businessmen, secure market access and try to diversify its export baskets.
He informed that France is the third largest export destination of Bangladesh in the European Union for apparel and in 2020-21, Bangladesh exported US$1.78 billion worth apparels.
