Industries minister Dilip Barua Thursday underscored the need for exploring opportunities and removing barriers to give a boost to the country's potential plastic sector. 'We are committed to strengthen regional, sub- regional, south-south cooperation in the days ahead for flourishing the potential sector,' he said while addressing the inaugural ceremony of a daylong workshop at Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry auditorium. The DCCI in cooperation with industries ministry organised the workshop on 'Achieving global value chain competitiveness: a strategic analysis of the plastic sector of Bangladesh.'
