Foreign minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Wednesday said the Bangladesh government is well aware of the evolving geopolitical scenario in the region and is taking prudent steps in this regard.

Hasan Mahmud said, "This evolving geopolitical scenario has created both opportunities and challenges for us. Bangladesh government has strengthened its measures to attract FDI through establishing new EPZs keeping in view the emerging geopolitical scenario."

He came up with remarks while speaking as the chief guest at a seminar on 'Economic Diversification and Global Market: Bangladesh's Opportunities and Way Forward' organised by Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies (BIISS) in the capital.

Hasan Mahmud said, "Today, the contribution of industries to the GDP is 33 percent. We would like to take it to 50 percent and become an industrialised country."

Member of Parliament Abul Kalam Azad, Foreign Secretary (Senior Secretary) Masud Bin Momen and Additional Secretary of Agriculture Ministry Dr Shah Md Helal Uddin spoke as the special guest.
