Free access to US market sought
Bangladesh sought again duty free access to the US market, saying the US Congress has an important role to play in this regard.
"Congress should also renew the US GSP facilities in its present form," Bangladesh Ambassador to USA Akramul Qader said during a meeting at the Capitol Hill Thursday with Congressman Dave Camp (R-MI) who is also the chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee in the House of Representatives.
The ambassador said GSP expired in December 2010 and requested Congressman Camp for its renewal by the US Congress without any amendment so Bangladesh gets full benefits in exporting all items covered by the facilities under GSP.
In response, the Congressman Camp assured to work on the issues, especially on GSP renewal, in consideration of protecting Bangladesh interest.
