As India has signified willingness to work with the international community, Bangladesh has taken the opposite approach. According to just-style.com (registration required), the Bangladesh government is currently withholding permission for a U.S. survey on the country's garment workers.
Last week, Bangladesh indicated it would consider allowing ICF International, a Virginia-based consultancy firm and survey organization, into the country to check for any child or forced labor in its apparel supply chain. Several days later, the government barred ICF International entry, despite local industry's willingness to comply with the survey.
