Musk responded with a brief but promising reply: “Looking forward to it!”
A statement from the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing on Thursday confirmed that extensive discussions took place regarding potential collaboration. The talks focused on how Starlink could revolutionize connectivity in Bangladesh, particularly benefiting:
- Youth and rural communities
- Underprivileged women
- Remote areas with limited internet access
Prof. Yunus also invited Musk to visit Bangladesh for Starlink’s potential launch. Musk welcomed the invitation, further strengthening their growing partnership.
If launched, Starlink could play a transformative role in bridging Bangladesh’s digital divide, bringing high-speed internet to underserved regions.
