as a top priority in its agenda of action as pert of its responsibility under the policy of
economic diplomacy. Continued persuasion should be made through discussion with
the United States trade representative, the state department and concerned member of
the congress. The BGMEA should continue to mobilized support through its
appointed lobbyist and must work in close contract with Bangladesh embassy in the
USA.
