Staff Reporter :
Following a meeting with Japanese Ambassador to Bangladesh Iwama Kiminori in the capital on Sunday, BNP Standing Committee Member Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury said the Japan government is trying to understand overall situation in Bangladesh.

“The Japanese Ambassador Kiminori also wanted to know whether the situation in Bangladesh would remain investment-friendly if the government changes,” Amir Khasru told reporters after holding a meeting with the Japanese ambassador to Bangladesh at BNP Chairperson’s political office at Gulshan in Dhaka.

Earlier, the party leaders held the meeting with the Japanese ambassador in the morning.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, party’s standing committee member and chairman of the BNP’s International Affairs Committee Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury, Organising Secretary and member of the International Affairs Committee Shama Obaid participated the meeting.

Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury said they discussed overall political and human rights situation in the country at the meeting.
The BNP leader said that Japan is a major development partner of Bangladesh.

“Japan has huge investment in our country. As such, they might be worried about the political situation here. They have to be assured about their investment here,” he said.

Responding to the prime minister’s remark that it doesn’t matter at all if someone does not go to the USA, Amir Khasru said it is not the Prime Minister, but the people would decide who will go to which country of the world.
