Finland is keen to invest in Bangladesh’s energy, smart city, and port management sectors to support the country with modern technology, technical skills, and adequate financing for sustainable development.
The Ambassador of Finland in Bangladesh Ms Ritva Koukku-Ronde said this at a seminar titled ‘Finland’s Smart Infrastructure Day: Building Bangladesh’ jointly organised by Finland Embassy in Dhaka and the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industries (FBCCI), on Monday at a city hotel.
FBCCI President Md Jashim Uddin said, ‘Bangladesh always considers Finland a development partner. Finnish companies are highly rich in industrial equipment, port management and the energy sector. I believe their experiences and technologies can help Bangladesh toward its development journey.’
High officials of Finnish companies such as Nokia, Wartsila, Elematic, Konecranes and Bangladeshi companies Summit Group, Bashundhara Group, Gemcon Group, Cosmos Group, were present at the seminar.
