Chinese delegation in Bangladesh to explore investment opportunities

DHAKA, May 26 (NsNewsWire) — A 24-member business delegation from Hong Kong has visited Bangladesh to find investment opportunities as part of efforts under China’s Belt and Road initiative.

The delegation of members from The Chinese Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong visited Bangladesh on BIDA’s invitation from 23rd to 25th of May.

To foster strong business ties between Hong Kong and Bangladesh, BIDA organized a seminar and ‘business match-making’ session between Bangladeshi companies and businesspersons from Hong Kong at Dhaka’s Hotel Intercontinental in the afternoon of 25th of May.

“Given the strength of Hong Kong and the potential of Bangladesh, there are many opportunities that will open up from this trip,” said BIDA Executive Chairman Kazi M. Aminul Islam while addressing the event.

“Beyond manufacturing and export, Bangladesh has great opportunities in its domestic market, which will fully flourish within few years,” said Dr. Dennis W.P. Ng, President of The Chinese Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong, who headed the Hong Kong delegation to Dhaka.

“We realized that Bangladesh has talented workers who are really focused on their duties when we visited the Chinese-owned Unimas Sportswear factory in Gazipur. There are Hong Kong journalists travelling with us because we want them to tell the story of Bangladesh.”

The delegation has met the Honourable Foreign Minister Abdul Momen and interacted with representatives of the Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA), Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (BEPZA) and the Hi-Tech Park Authority. Press Release
