Bangladesh Delegation Visits China to Boost Investment Ties

A high-level delegation from Bangladesh, led by Chowdhury Ashik Mahmud Bin Harun, Executive Chairman of the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) and Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA), has departed for China to promote and facilitate foreign direct investment.

The team includes senior officials from BIDA and BEZA, along with representatives from major banks such as HSBC, Standard Chartered Bangladesh, and Citi NA.

“We are encouraged by the strong interest in our visit and look forward to engaging with Chinese companies to provide the support and information needed for investing in Bangladesh,” said Ashik Chowdhury.

From July 20 to 26, the delegation will hold multiple meetings in Shanghai and Guangzhou. A key event is a business seminar on July 21 in Shanghai, jointly organised by BIDA and the Bangladesh Embassy in China. The seminar is expected to attract over 100 Chinese investors and companies from sectors including electronics, textiles, agribusiness, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices.

This visit underscores Bangladesh’s ongoing commitment to fostering global investment and expanding opportunities across vital economic sectors through collaboration and dialogue.
