The Bangladesh China Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCCI) and the Economic Reporters’ Forum (ERF) jointly hosted the event. Chinese ambassador to Bangladesh Li Jiming addressed the event virtually.

Munshi said China is the largest supplier of machinery and goods to Bangladesh while being the latter’s biggest trade partner, according to Bangla media reports.

There could have been a difficult time for the country’s garments sector had there been no material coming from China during the pandemic, he added.
