Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus has invited global investors to invest in Bangladesh in a greater way as the country is ready to have enhanced trade and investment ties with an improved business and investment climate.

"We have always been saying Bangladesh is ready for an enhanced investment," Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam told reporters here.

He highlighted Prof Yunus' extensive engagements on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum's annual summit.

Shafiqul said a business and investment-friendly environment is prevailing in Bangladesh.

He said Bangladesh has eased conditions on investment and improved the capacity of Chattogram port. With a huge young population, Bangladesh can become an export hub, the press secretary said.

Focusing on the chief adviser's extensive engagements here since his arrival, he said the beauty of the World Economic Forum annual meeting is that top executives of global organisations, including the prominent presence of private sector leaders, interact with the heads of the government and state.

Meanwhile, DP World Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem met Chief Adviser Yunus on Thursday morning (Davos time) and discussed issues of mutual interest, CA's Deputy Press Secretary Apurba Jahangir told BSS.

DP World is a multinational logistics company based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It specialises in cargo logistics, port terminal operations, maritime services, and free trade zones.

Nick Clegg, president, Global Affairs, Meta Platforms Inc, also called on the chief adviser during the World Economic Forum Summit at Davos today.
Prof Yunus continued his broader engagement with the global leaders here at the 2025 annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, with over a dozen engagements planned for Thursday, the third hectic day since his arrival in the Swiss city on 21 January.

The Forum has brought together governments, businesses, and civil society members to improve the state of the world.
