The observation came when Alberto Guani, Ambassador of Uruguay to Bangladesh, paid a courtesy visit to the BGMEA office today. BGMEA Director Shah Rayeed Chowdhury said Uruguay could particularly play a vital role as the main gateway for Bangladeshi apparel exports to the wider Mercosur region. Both sides expressed keen interest in working closely together to strengthen trade and investment ties between Bangladesh and Uruguay.
