Abdul Majid Chowdhury

Abdul Majid Chowdhury is the Bangladeshi businessman in Getting entrepreneurial in Korea (Summer School) who wanted to create employment and earn export dollars through clothing production. The source says he looked to South Korea because it had also rebuilt after war and used garment exports as an early development step.

His meeting with Daewoo led to training for 128 Bangladeshis in Korea and helped create Desh Garments in Chittagong. In the wiki, Chowdhury anchors the human and entrepreneurial side of Textile Knowledge Transfer rather than only the trade-policy side of the Multi-Fiber Arrangement.
