Check Bangladeshi knitwear quality

BKMEA urges Yunnan businesses

Bdnews, Kunming, China
Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BKMEA) yesterday urged the businessmen of Yunnan province of China to visit Bangladesh to check the quality of their products before importing the knitwear products. Reciprocating to Bangladesh's offer, Chinese businessmen showed their interests to visit Bangladesh soon prior to making orders from there.
BKMEA also asked the Textile and Garments Association of Yunnan to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with BKMEA for working together to promote trade between them.
BKMEA President Fazlul Haque told this to BDNEWS after holding a meeting with Zhanglikun, chairman of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), Yunnan chapter, and chairmen of Garments Association, Light and
Textile Association and Designing Clothes Association of Yunnan province.
Bangladesh Ambassador to China Ashfaqur Rahman and a representative of China Commerce Ministry were also present at the meeting, held in Yunnan's capital Kunming.
Haque said knitwear exporters, who are in Yunnan to attend the Kunming International Export and Import Fair 2005, are getting huge responses from the retailers. "We have already got four orders from the wholesalers in Kunming," he said.
Urging the Chinese businessmen to invest in Bangladesh, Haque said China could take the chance of duty-free access of Bangladeshi textile products given by two of the world's largest markets - European Union and Japan.
"Labour cost in Bangladesh is even cheaper than in China," he told the Chinese business community.
"You can invest in Bangladesh on easy terms and conditions."
Referring to rapid increase of
export from Yunnan province to
Bangladesh, Haque said signing of the MoU will give solid foundation
for building further co-operation
between the businessmen of Yunnan and Bangladesh.
"I am confident that the MoU will be signed by this week," he told the news agency.
The BKMEA president also invited the Chinese businessmen to participate in the forthcoming Knit Expo to be held in December in Dhaka.
Ashfaqur Rahman said fabrics can be produced in Bangladesh in joint venture, which will benefit both the countries. "A business delegate can visit Bangladesh to see the feasibility of import of raw jute, frozen fish and medicine," he told the leaders of different trade bodies of China.
