Remarks:JICA Private Sector Development Research Project was one of very intensively Japanese high official connected study- where I was involved in. At its’ background, the research issues and activities were continuously monitored and guided from both JICA Dhaka and Tokyo office. The concept of the research was done to understand Bangladeshi industrial situation that can be related and connected with Japanese investors. In the process of the work flow we conducted the baseline research part. After completion of research from our team- the report was submitted to the department of Mr.Ishizuka Kenji, Deputy Director, South Asia Division 4 (Bangladesh & Nepal), South Asia Development, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Tokyo. These researches suggestions played role for Japan government to finalize agreement issues for two countries (Bangladesh and Japan) specially on economic and infrastructural sides. After finishing the total chain of work, Mr. Shinzo Abe, prime minister of Japan, visited Bangladesh (6th September, 2014), after 14 years, to sign up final Bangladesh-Japan agreement. I feel proud to be part of the background researcher of this process. It was one of the most wonderful experiences of my research life also. I worked in this project as project coordinator. My task was in both sides on research field as well as some administrative and to coordinate the tasks.
