Bangladesh's
supply chain infrastructure, including ports, rail networks, and inland
container terminals, will receive a $1 billion investment from DP World, a
Dubai-based multinational logistics corporation.
This is
within the scope of the government-to-government agreement entered into in 2019
for public-private participation on infrastructure projects, said a press
release of the company on Tuesday.
The
assurance came when a high-level delegation of the Bangladesh government led by
State Minister for Shipping Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury, visited Jebel Ali Free
Zone and the Jebel Ali Port in Dubai on November 21-23.
The
delegation included Sultana Afroz, Secretary and Chief Executive Officer for
Public-Private Partnership Authority, Mohammed Mezbah Uddin Chowdhury,
Secretary, Ministry of Shipping; and Rear Admiral M. Shahjahan, Chairman of
Chittagong Port Authority, and other senior government officials. During the
tour, they also visited the DP World Pavilion at the Expo 2020
Dubai.
The visit
represents a key step in reinforcing DP World’s commitment to partner with the
government of Bangladesh in enhancing its supply chain infrastructure and
processes, it said.
The
delegation met Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World,
Mohammed Al Muallem, Executive Vice President – Office of the Chairman DP
World, and Rizwan Soomar, CEO and Managing Director, DP World Subcontinent; and
other DP World officials.
The
delegation was also briefed on DP World’s range of products and services, which
covers every link of the integrated supply chain – from maritime and inland
terminals to marine services and industrial parks, as well as technology-driven
customer solutions.
The
delegation members witnessed a demonstration of BoxBay, the new intelligent High
Bay Storage (HBS) system, toured the Jebel Ali Free Zone, and visited the DP
World Cruise
Terminal.
Visitors
to the five-floor DP World Flow pavilion, which has four main galleries, have
an opportunity to explore the movement of commerce around the world that drives
the global economy, giving a unique insight into the innovative technology of
supply chains.
The
pavilion’s FlowLive event program brings together leaders of governments and
commerce to shape the future of world trade, while its education program
seeks to inspire young people to join the logistics industry.
