Tipu Munshi said this while speaking at a discussion jointly organised by the Almeria Chambers of Commerce and Commercial Wing of the Bangladesh Embassy in Spain on Tuesday (May 24), said a media release on Saturday.
“Bangladesh might follow the agricultural development of once economically poor province Almeria. Almeria has become successful by selecting a model to develop its agriculture and made an example in the country. The success of Almeria’s agriculture is a model to the world.”
Tipu Munshi along with his delegation visited Almeria province from May 23-25, at the invitation of the Almeria Chambers of Commerce.
