BEZA Executive Member (Investment Development) Md Ali Ahsan and Fervent Multiboard Chairman SM Mahbubul Alam inked the agreement on behalf of their respective sides at the BEZA headquarters in the capital.
BEZA executive chairman Shaikh Yusuf Harun, who was present as the signing ceremony, said BEZA has been able to create an investment-friendly environment in Bangladesh, and hence the demand for land under the BEZA for planned industrial construction is constantly increasing.

As a result of the development of this region, people of remote areas will enjoy the benefits of industrialisation, he added.
