Abu Dhabi Ports Group keen to invest in Bangladesh ports

A delegation from the group, which specialises in developing seaports, is visiting Bangladesh.

“Mongla Port, as the country’s second biggest seaport, will be built as an inter-country communication and trade centre,” a shipping ministry statement quoted the adviser as telling the delegation.

Hossain said the geographic location and closer proximity made the port a potential location of foreign trades of neighbouring India, Bhutan and Nepal.

Riverine and railway communication systems exist connecting the port to different parts of the country, he noted.

The delegation particularly expressed interest to be a party in constructing the Bay Terminal of the Chittagong Port, domestic media outlets reported.
