It is especially important now as Bangladesh is set to graduate from its LDC status and become a developing country by 2026.

It will require close collaboration between Bangladesh government and private sector

An opportunity has been created for Bangladesh to get an extension of trade benefits granted to the least-developed countries (LDCs) after the country’s graduation to a developing country in 2026, said Senior Commerce Secretary Tapan Kanti Ghosh today.

Bangladesh’s Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi has requested his Indian counterpart Suresh Prabhu to take necessary measures to withdraw anti-dumping duty on Bangladeshi products as they met on the sidelines of WTO ministerial meeting in India's New Delhi.

The Eleventh Ministerial Conference (MC11) of the World Trade Organization will be held on December 10-13 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The meeting of this highest decision-making body of the WTO, which meets at least once every two years, is taking place at a critical moment of the free trade movement.
