Bangladesh and Japan today held a high-level meeting to advance negotiations on the operation and maintenance of the 3rd terminal of HSIA. State Minister M Rashiduzzaman Millat urged the Japanese side to reconsider Bangladesh’s proposals and submit a revised offer, reiterating the government’s interest in working closely with Japan. The latest round of talks follows an earlier meeting held on March 13, marking continued high-level engagement to operationalise the nearly completed terminal. The consortium comprising Japan Airport Terminal Company, Sumitomo Corporation, Sojitz Corporation and Narita International Airport Corporation, has submitted a revised offer with reduced pricing, narrowing differences. The terminal, financed largely by the Japan International Cooperation Agency, was built at a cost of about Taka 21,398 crore.
