Saudi-Bangladeshi Relations
In a recent significant development in international trade relations, Mubasher Al-Shahri, the Saudi Commercial Attaché at the General Authority of Foreign Trade in Pakistan, has played a pivotal role in fostering Saudi- Bangladeshi business relations.
This engagement was particularly notable during the visit of Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Investment, Khalid Al-Falih, to Bangladesh.
Role of General Authority for Foreign Trade
Established on January 1, 2019, Kingdom’s General Authority for Foreign Trade is key in Saudi-Bangladeshi economic ties. It also boosts the country’s global commercial and investment activities.
Moreover, it aids private sector participation in foreign trade. This reflects Saudi Arabia’s drive to diversify its economy, moving beyond oil and expanding its global trade presence.
