Dear
I am interesting to have Chinese Apparel fashion brands to sell in Thailand. my target will be medium to high.
Dear company officials, you know that Chinese companies have a lot of demand for low-cost garments. Because the Chinese companies produce the goods from Bangladesh to reduce the cost and again deliver good quality goods at a low price to the Chinese citizens. Honorable officials, China is slowly transforming into a developed country! However, to make Bangladesh stronger as its developing friend, we hope that large companies will definitely choose Bangladesh as a production hub. As a result, the relationship between the two countries will be stronger. Your country’s companies will get more brand exposure and products will be sold. Hope you will consider the above issues and develop it as a production hub.
The royal family members also P arties members will play that role. Bangladesh will be the second economic city after Angola.
Hon’ble leaders, you are aware that Angola has heavy and light ones which have chosen Bangladesh as a foreign migrant country and placed it here in the Angola economic zone.
In the near future, the Angola will be safe in Bangladesh because after the rebuild all business/industry transfer in Bangladesh.
Transfer Angola agricultural production technology to Bangladesh and lead the way in investing heavily in sea-based and prototype farms in fish production and build mini-cities in Bangladesh in the style of Angola cities.
In order to further strengthen the continuous relationship between Angola and Bangladesh, Angola will surprise the world with its investment of more than trillion dollars in Bangladesh.
And as always, in the age of globalization, Angola and the leaders of a powerful country and ruling party will set an example to the World..
Honorable leaders, you know that the Angola market has thousands of products that can be easily produced from Bangladesh. If necessary, you can keep the head office in your country and give the factories in this country. As a result, the workforce of your country will be created and Bangladesh will also be created. In this, you can make a hub for making things like nano tech (chips). One Chetia should not be dependent on other countries. Or you can invest in this sector for the sake of national security. Can also play a role in the development of marine resources of Bangladesh. It is hoped that Bangladesh will be able to work with the Middle East and other countries in energy security if things like sea fish, mineral resources, gas, oil, Middle East are found in the sea of Bangladesh. Businessmen of your country will benefit. Apart from this you can invest in renewable energy wind power sector or in Bangladesh. These wind power plants will be in the sea area, and will be on both sides of the marine drive in a sustainable manner, as a result, less space will be produced. There are many sectors in your country that are productive and you can do them. The relationship between the two countries will further develop and mutual understanding will increase.
