The third D-8 (Developing-Eight) three-day ministerial meeting is likely to begin in Dhaka in September, aiming to promote economic cooperation and solidarity among the eight Muslim majority developing states.
‘D-8 secretary general Widi Agoes Pratikto (Indonesia) is scheduled to arrive in Dhaka on April 29. Things will be finalised after discussion with him,’ industries minister Dilip Barua told the news agency before leaving for Doha.
The issues of economic cooperation, improving member states’ position in the global economy, diversifying and creating new opportunities in trade relations, enhancing participation in decision making at international level, and improving the standards of living are likely to come for discussion at the ministerial meeting, sources at the industries ministry said.
The event will also seek to provide an opportunity for the member states to exchange their experiences, facilitate trade among them and promote trade within the group.
During the second D8 Ministerial Meeting in Istanbul, Turkey, Barua, on behalf of Bangladesh, proposed hosting the next D-8 ministerial meeting in Dhaka and it was accepted.
D-8, also known as Developing-8, is a forum for development cooperation among the member states — Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan and Turkey. It was set up in 1997.
The establishment of D-8 was officially announced through the Istanbul Declaration of Summit of Heads of State/Government on June 15, 1997.
The second D-8 industries ministers meeting was held in Istanbul, Turkey from 4-6 October, last year.
The meeting discussed the issues related to building joint automobile, adopting special policies on energy and environment, standard of foodstuff and joint petrochemical projects.
The first round of the event was held in Iran two years ago.

There is no sanction on car production. Iran still export its home made car. Malaysiya was the other country that had shown interest.

Not in Europe. They major compulsion was to export to Europe tax free. But with Iran brand not possible.

The internal demand of the economies of the D8 is enough for a viable automobile manufacturer. If the parts are made across the D8 and there is an assembly plant in each country that would represent massive development for the Islamic world. First automobile then aircraft too, hopefully to break the monopoly of the existing powers.

Don't expect 'Mula' of that size while RAWAMYS are being in power because it would never blast out of BD's soil. After destroying each and every economic ingredient, RAWAMYS are digitizing BDian's dreams through the demonstration of 'Bigger Mula', which wouldn't be seen, period.

M_Saint not actually sure I understand fully what you are saying. But let us have hope. BAL politicians are driven by money, serengupta a case in point....lets hope their selfish need for wealth will end up doing the nation as a whole some good.

BRO, many of my posts are metaphorical in nature and the previous one falls in that category. What I'VE meant is that AWAMY dalals being in power doesn't work, even though it loves to manufacture dream of having bigger carrot than the previous one, which they couldn't deliver. BRO, you would be saddened to learn that BD's dire straightness doesn't know no bound; especially with the existence of Bharati dalal. It would require rims of papers to document RAWAMY (RAW+AWAMY) crimes since 1958.They are real 'Economic Hit men' that have destroyed a very strong macro economy to sky rock the inflation, so don't expect any bigger achievement like setting up of car plants for D8 countries. BTW, are you the same MB444 of BDMIL?
