Prime Bank recently launched Japan Desk, a one-stop solution centre, in order to facilitate cross-border business initiatives and investments between Japan and Bangladesh.

Naoki Ito, Japanese ambassador to Bangladesh, and Tanjil Chowdhury, chairman of Prime Bank, inaugurated the special desk at a local hotel in Dhaka, a press release said.

"As many Japanese companies are interested in establishing business in Bangladesh, the facilities by the Prime Bank's Japan Desk will support the growth of bilateral trade," said Ito at the programme.

Hassan O Rashid, managing director of the bank, and dignitaries from the diplomatic core and business communities of both Japan and Bangladesh were present at the event.
