“Nowhere in the world have we seen multi-stakeholder collaboration on a scale like this in order to improve standards in a national industry,” the Danish minister said on Thursday speaking at a high-level conference on RMG sector.

“The success of this multi-stakeholder approach is a really valuable lesson that has been learnt,” he said.

The Danish government organised the meet on ‘RMG Industry and Beyond: Framing the Future’ to mark two years of Bangladesh’s worst-ever building collapse at Savar.

Bangladesh’s Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed and Foreign Minister Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali spoke at the conference which was organised to share the lessons learnt after the building collapse and future cooperation.

BGMEA President Md. Atiqul Islam and Vice President (Finance) Reaz Bin Mahmood also addressed the conference and highlighted the progress Bangladesh RMG industry has made in terms of workplace safety.

 

Denmark is one of Bangladesh’s leading development partners that currently works in areas like water, sanitation, agriculture, human rights, and development sectors.
