Professor Muhammad Yunus, Chief Adviser of Bangladesh’s interim government, has extended an invitation to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to visit Dhaka and launch the Starlink satellite service in the country. The invitation comes as part of an initiative to bring advanced technology to Bangladesh and improve connectivity for its citizens.
In a letter addressed to Musk, Yunus highlighted the potential benefits of Starlink’s connectivity for Bangladesh’s youth, rural and vulnerable women, and remote and underserved communities. “Let us work together to deliver our mutual vision for a better future,” Yunus wrote.
“Integrating Starlink’s connectivity into Bangladesh’s infrastructure will have a transformational impact, particularly for Bangladesh’s enterprising youth, rural and vulnerable women, and remote and underserved communities,” the letter added.
Yunus also directed his High Representative, Khalilur Rahman, to work closely with the SpaceX team to expedite the necessary preparations. The goal is to ensure Starlink’s readiness for launch in Bangladesh within the next 90 working days.
Last week, Yunus held a detailed phone conversation with Elon Musk to discuss potential collaboration and the prospects of launching Starlink satellite internet services in Bangladesh. “I look forward to it,” Musk reportedly told Yunus during the call.
Starlink, a satellite constellation operated by SpaceX, aims to provide global broadband coverage, especially targeting regions with limited or no access to high-speed internet. The introduction of Starlink in Bangladesh is expected to significantly enhance internet connectivity across the country, bringing new opportunities for development and growth.
As the preparations for the launch progress, the potential collaboration between Muhammad Yunus and Elon Musk marks a significant step towards improving digital infrastructure in Bangladesh and empowering its citizens through advanced technology.
