An appeal to President Obama
In a recently released US State Department Fact Sheet, President Barack Obama suspended Bangladesh from its GSP programme. The decision came after a multi-year review by the U.S. Trade Representative. Meanwhile in the same document, it is observed that “U.S.-Bangladesh relations are excellent.” Being a bona fide friend of Bangladesh, the US should assist Bangladesh to take appropriate steps to adopt internationally recognised workers' rights and in improving workers' overall working environment without putting any hindrance.
I would request the US president to please withdraw suspension of GSP facility for Bangladesh and help garment industries accomplish international standard in workers' welfare and management.
