Square Pharmaceuticals Ltd hosted the visit of a high-powered government delegation from Libya at its state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities at Kaliakoir, Gazipur on October 30 last.

The visit was graced by Engineer Maa'touq Mohammed Maa'touq, Minister for Manpower, Training and Employment.

The Ambassador of Libya to Bangladesh also accompanied the team.

The visiting team consisted of a host of Libyan and local government officials.

Square commenced exporting its world-class pharmaceutical products to Libya from 2005, being the first Bangladeshi company to enter into this oil rich country after having a thorough and rigorous inspection of its manufacturing facilities by the Drug Quality Control Administration, the National Centre for Food and Drug Control, Libya.

Libya has become now a regular market for Square and is showing increased growth and profitability over the years.

The visitors were briefed on Square's domestic and international marketing operations followed by a full guided tour of the manufacturing facilities.

They were oriented with Square's adoption and adherence of the latest manufacturing and quality control processes in the making of its world-class products.

The Libyan Minister was very appreciative of the world-class pharmaceutical facility and offered their help to see Square Pharmaceuticals in a strong position in Libya.
