Japan reassures support to Bangladesh; wants to invest in IT sector


Visiting Minister in charge of Economic Revitalisation of Japan Toshimitsu Motegi on Tuesday said his country will continue to support Bangladesh in key development arenas, showing interest to invest in the IT sector of Bangladesh.
Toshimitsu Motegi came up with the assurance when he met Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at her office.
PM’s Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim briefed reporters after the meeting.
“Japan has been a great partner since the independence of Bangladesh and the relations between Japan and Bangladesh are complementary to each other,” he said.
He congratulated Sheikh Hasina on assuming office as the Prime Minister of Bangladesh for the third consecutive term through a participatory election. “It was a participatory election,” the Press Secretary quoted the Japanese minister as saying.
Motegi expressed his conviction that the relations between Bangladesh and Japan will be stronger during the current tenure of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Welcoming the Japanese minister in Bangladesh, Hasina recalled Japan’s contributions to Bangladesh’s economic development.
“Japan is providing support to various development sectors, particularly constructing the Rupsha Bridge, metro rail and other projects,” PM Hasina said.
Terming Japan a development model for Bangladesh, Hasina said her government wants to develop every village as a township with urban facilities.
