Commerce Secretary Tapan Kanti Ghosh has shrugged off fears of the United States hitting Bangladesh with trade sanctions under new global labour rights policy. “We are in a good position in terms of ensuring work environment and labour rights in new industrial establishments,” he added. It has provisions of different sanctions, including ban on trade, on countries where labour rights are violated, workers are threatened or attacked. The commerce secretary spoke to the media after a meeting with businessmen from different levels and the labour secretary at his office. Tapan said it was a “regular meeting” to discuss the progress of implementing the national action plan to ensure labour rights.
