Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday urged Bangladeshi expatriates living in the UK to invest in different sectors in Bangladesh, particularly the food-processing industry.

She made the call visiting with Speaker of  Tower Hamlet Council in London, Ayas Miah, who paid a courtesy call at the prime minister’s parliament office.

Quoting Sheikh Hasina after the meeting, the Prime Minister's Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim said the Bangladesh head of the government told Ayas Miah that the government always welcomes Bangladeshi expatriates living in the UK to invest in the food-processing industry as there is a huge demand for processed foods at home and abroad.

During the meeting, the Tower Hamlet Speaker termed Bangladesh a role model of development, saying the country is progressing as peace and stability prevails here.

He said Bangladeshi expatriates in Britain, particularly the third generation, are very keen to invest in Bangladesh.

Ayas Miah assured that the support of expatriates for the development of Bangladesh will continue.

The Tower Hamlet Council Speaker informed the prime minister that a street in London will be renamed after late Syed Ashraful Islam.

At the meeting, a special plaque was presented to the prime minister on behalf of the Centre for Non-resident Bangladeshis.
