State Minister for Local Government Mir Shahe Alam has called on China Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC) to invest directly or under the PPP model in the country's infrastructure development, drinking water supply and modern drainage system. He made the call at a bilateral meeting with a delegation led by CRCC Chairman (State Minister rank) Dai Hegen at the Bangladesh Secretariat today, Wednesday (November 4).

At the meeting, the State Minister said CRCC can use its modern technology and experience in road connectivity in rural and urban areas, construction of bridges and culverts, and waste management to implement the vision of transforming villages into towns. At that time, he assured full support from the current government to facilitate any development activity. Mir Shahe Alam also expressed gratitude for the Chinese government's continuous contribution to waste-to-electricity generation and the road and bridge construction sectors.
