Beach, who is in Bangladesh for a one-day visit, conveyed his investment interests during a meeting with political leaders, an adviser to the interim government, and senior officials from the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) at a hotel in Dhaka on Thursday.
As part of his visit, Beach attended a luncheon hosted by BIDA, where he outlined his interest in various investment sectors. “I am here to propose investments, particularly in the development sector. We are keen to invest in Bangladesh, which, under President Donald Trump’s leadership, now offers new opportunities for business, trade, and investment globally,” Beach said.
Jamaat Naib-e-Ameer Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher, who also attended the luncheon, confirmed that Beach expressed particular interest in the energy sector, with a focus on minerals and gas exploration in Bangladesh.
Mahfuz Alam, an advisor to the interim government, noted that a final decision on the investment would be made after further discussions between BIDA and Beach on the specifics of potential investments.
