DOHA (Qatar), April 24, 2025 (BSS) - Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus has said his government's aim is to transform Bangladesh into a manufacturing and economic hub as he held a closed-door meeting with several prominent foreign investors here.

The meeting was arranged aiming to attract investment in some of the country's key sectors as several notable figures including a former deputy prime minister of the Maldives, a member of the Malaysian royal family, a former Malaysian minister, a Qatari royal family member, top bankers, and several wealthy non-resident Bangladeshis were present, CA's Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder told BSS today.
