Bangladesh foreign minister AK Abdul Momen recently urged businessmen in the United States to invest in Bangladesh as Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has allocated a special economic zone (SEZ) to American companies. He was addressing a meeting in Washington, DC, with US Chamber of Commerce's US-Bangladesh Business Council on business cooperation.

Momen was accompanied by a high-level business delegation from Bangladesh to the meeting, where 20 US company executives engaged in discussions on commerce, trade and investment.

Momen noted that US companies can support Bangladesh in fields like telecommunication infrastructure, digital economy, pharmaceuticals, blue economy, information and communication technology, financial technology and digital payments, according to Bangla media reports.

Momen later visited Miami, Florida, to inaugurate the new consulate general of Bangladesh there.
