CHITTAGONG, Bangladesh, Nov 17 (BSS) - Malaysia is keen to invest in Bangladesh's petroleum, ship building and energy sectors to the
mutual benefits of two economies.

Malaysian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Jamaluddin Bin Sbeh said this while taking part in the views sharing meeting with the leaders of Chittagong Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) here today.

He also assured of further simplifying the visa issuing process of the Bangladeshis, especially for the businessmen, towards that effect.

Describing Bangladesh as one of the most potential trade and
investment hubs in South Asia, the Malaysian envoy laid emphasis
on increasing bilateral trades between the two brotherly
countries.

"Initiatives would be undertaken for facilitating visits of
increased number of Malaysian entrepreneurs to Bangladesh to
witness the overall investment-friendly atmosphere prevailing
here," he said.

Welcoming the Malaysian envoy, CCCI President M A Latif MP
urged his government to import more Bangladeshi products to help
reduce the ever increasing trade imbalance between the two
nations.

After the meeting, Jamaluddin Bin Sbeh along with his entourage members left the port city for Bandarban, Cox's Bazar and Teknaf this afternoon to see for themselves the huge prospects in tourism and fishery there.
