DHAKA: US Ambassador to Dhaka Dan Mozena on Monday categorically said all the stakeholders in Bangladesh’s apparel sector should ensure the rights of workers to get back GSP facility.
 
The US diplomat came up with the assertion while addressing an event arranged by Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) to mark the launching ceremony of DCCI Help Desk and unveiling of ‘US Products and Services Info Center’ at the DCCI auditorium in the city.

Mozena said the challenge now is to get back GSP facility by embracing changes and constructively address the fundamental issues of workers’ rights, including fire safety, factory structural soundness and trade union rights, to set the stage for better industrialization.

The apparel sector of Bangladesh and all--owners, workers, government, buyers, international organizations, friends and partners of Bangladesh--must work together so that the tragedies of Tazreen Fashions and Rana Plaza are never repeated, he also observed.

President of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) Kazi Akram Uddin Ahmed and Registrar of Joint Stock Companies Bijon Kumar Baishya also spoke

DCCI President M Sabur Khan presided over the function.
