Ministar vanjskih poslova Bosne i Hercegovine Elmedin Konaković u posjeti kompaniji namjenske industrije „IGMAN“ d.d. Konjic

Konjic, 9. 9. 2024. – Ministar vanjskih poslova Bosne i Hercegovne Elmedin Konaković posjetio je danas kompaniju namjenske industrije IGMAN d.d. u Konjicu. Riječ je o prvoj zvaničnoj posjeti ministra vanjskih poslova kompaniji koja je lider u proizvodnji malokalibarske municije sa 1430 zaposlenih i godišnjim prihodima od oko 160 miliona KM.

Tokom sastanka sa menadžmentom IGMAN-a naglašena je važnost snažne domaće namjenske industrije koja može odgovoriti zahtjevima međunarodnog tržišta ali i uloga snažne i efikasne diplomatije koja treba biti svojevrstan servis domaćim kompanijama na stranim tržištima.

„Ovo je prva zvanična posjeta fabrici namjenske industrije IGMAN u Konjicu koja u skoro 100% iznosu proizvode plasira na strana tržišta. Pored činjenice da kompanija stabilno posluje i da ima važnu ekonomsku, društvenu ulogu, posebno me raduju poruke da fabrika ima potencijal za širenje kapaciteta te da postoji prostor za veće učešće na pojedinim tržištima ali i mogućnsti ulaska na neka nova. U tom smislu, Ministarstvo na čijem sam čelu će u punom kapacitetu koristiti svoje nadležnosti kako bi, kroz angažiraniji diplomatski pristup, kompaniji od državnog interesa olakšavali poslovanje na ciljanim tržištima“, izjavio je tokom posjete ministar Elmedin Konaković.

Tokom sastanka, v.d. direktor IGMAN-a Adnan Prevljak informisao je ministra vanjskih poslova o izazovima s kojima se fabrika suočava u poslovanju te tekućim pitanjima koja su u sferi vojne proizvodnje i Vijeća ministara Bosne i Hercegovine odnosno državnog Ministarstva vanjskih poslova.

„Naš cilj je da imamo kvalitetne i efikasne odnose sa svim vladinim institucijam na čije resurse se oslanjamo u svom poslovanju. Funkcionalan državni aparat je temlj ekonomskog razvoja jednog društva s toga je današnja posjeta ministra vanjskih poslova iskorištena za razgovor o nizu tema iz nadležnosti Vijeća ministara Bosne i Hercegovine koje su od krucijalnog značaja za naše poslovanje“, kazao je v.d. direktor IGMAN-a Adnan Prevljak.
