Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday sought large-scale investments from British investors, promising to offer them a dedicated special economic zone (SEZ) if the latter show interest.

She said this when a British cross-party parliamentary delegation led by vice chair of All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Bangladesh and chair of APPG on Indo-British Virendra Sharma met her in Dhaka.

The delegation is on a visit to the country from January 27 to 31, a news agency reported.

As Bangladesh is well connected to South East Asia and South Asia, British investors will face no problems in finding markets for their goods, Hasina said.

Her government has been trying hard to cut the procedural time to invest in Bangladesh, she informed the delegation.
