China could not become a potential export destination for Bangladesh despite offering generous preferential trade benefits for the past decade or so.

The World Trade Organisation’s (WTO) decision to continue LDC-linked trade benefits for graduating least-developed countries will not only help Bangladesh avoid potential export losses for several years beyond 2026 but also allow it to attract much-needed investments, experts said.

The next stage of Bangladesh-India relations should involve long-term, innovative projects.

US congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney supports Bangladesh's persistent call for restoration of trade benefits for exports to the US market.
