BIDA, BEZA officials joined by top bankers for weeklong engagement in Shanghai, Guangzhou
A high-level Bangladeshi delegation led by Ashik Chowdhury, Executive Chairman of both the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) and the Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA), departed for China today to promote foreign direct investment (FDI) and strengthen bilateral business ties.
The delegation comprises senior officials from BIDA and BEZA, along with top executives from leading international banks operating in Bangladesh, including HSBC, Standard Chartered, and Citi NA, according to a press release. “We are pleased to have received considerable interest in our visit. We look forward to engaging with Chinese companies and providing them with the information and support they need to invest in Bangladesh,” Chowdhury said ahead of the visit. From July 20 to July 26, the team will hold a series of high-level meetings and investor engagements in Shanghai and Guangzhou, focusing on promoting Bangladesh’s investment potential in key sectors.
A major highlight of the mission is a business seminar in Shanghai on July 21, co-hosted by BIDA and the Embassy of Bangladesh in China. The event is expected to draw over 100 Chinese investors and representatives from sectors such as electronics, textiles, agribusiness, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices. The visit comes at a crucial time as Bangladesh intensifies its efforts to attract diversified FDI into its economic zones and emerging sectors, leveraging its strategic location, competitive workforce, and evolving infrastructure.
