Ambassador of Bangladesh to Belgium Mahbub Hassan Saleh hosted a reception in honor of BGMEA President Faruque Hassan at his residence in Brussels on November 10.

The reception was also attended by the representatives of the department of trade and employment of the European Union.

BGMEA Vice President Miran Ali, Director Abdullah Hil Rakib, Shams Mahmud, Managing Director of Shasha Denims Ltd and high officials of the Bangladesh Embassy joined the program. 

The BGMEA President expressed thanks to the European Union especially for its recent move to remove 7.4-percent import-share threshold from the GSP-plus vulnerability criteria, as the step will pave the way for Bangladesh to apply for GSP-plus benefit after its LDC graduation.

Faruque Hassan also hoped the friendly support and cooperation of the European Union to Bangladesh, especially for the RMG industry will continue in the coming days.

He thanked the Bangladesh Embassy in Belgium for its proactive role in promoting the interests of Bangladesh in the European Union and also for hosting the reception.
