Anu Muhammad has warned that allowing foreign control of the Chattogram Port could jeopardize Bangladesh’s economic sovereignty. He stated that efforts to grant foreign entities control over the port are not new, referencing a 1997 initiative to lease the port to SSA, a United States company, for a long term. Muhammad expressed concern over increasing foreign interests surrounding the Chattogram Port. He believes handing over the port to foreign entities poses a significant risk to both the economy and the sovereignty of Bangladesh. The situation mirrors past attempts to cede control of a vital national asset. He cautioned against policies that could compromise Bangladesh’s strategic interests and economic independence regarding the Chattogram Port.
