As part of its branding initiatives, the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association will support an initiative launched by a group Bangladeshi youths to promote the tradition and cultural heritage of Bangladesh internationally.

BGMEA will sponsor the “We Love Rickshaw” initiative under which Manchester Museum of the UK will take two traditional paddle Rickshaws from Bangladesh as a symbol of heritage and tradition.

One of the rickshaws will go on display in the South Asia Gallery at Manchester Museum and the other will travel to different venues in the city.

BGMEA President Faruque Hassan made announcement of BGMEA’s support to the initiative at a program held at BGMEA Complex on November 20. Mosaddek Hossain, Chief Coordinator, “We Love Rickshaw” social campaign was also present on the occasion.

BGMEA Vice President (Finance) Khandoker Rafiqul Islam, Directors Abdullah Hil Rakib and Md. Imranur Rahman and chairmen of different standing committees were also present at the program. 

He said, “BGMEA is happy to support this initiative as it is a big opportunity for us to showcase our rich culture and heritage to the international audience.”
