Dhaka, Aug. 11 -- Commerce Adviser Sheikh Bashir Uddin has described the timeframe for LDC (Least Developed Country) graduation as a "time bomb," urging a proactive approach to address the challenges it presents.

He made the remarks at a reception hosted by the Bangladesh Textile Mills Association (BTMA) at Gulshan Club on Sunday night.

"A fascist has left a time bomb in front of us. We must talk about LDC graduation, otherwise, our market access will be hindered. We are only discussing the $8 billion market in America, but we are not talking about our $48 billion market. We have to address the LDC issue and work on this challenge," he added.
