Trade between India & Bangladesh up 94% in last 1 year: FBCCI

The FBCCI said this in a statement after a meeting between Vikram K Doraiswami, High Commissioner of India to Bangladesh and Md Jashim Uddin, president of FBCCI in Dhaka yesterday.

At the meeting, Jashim Uddin called for the development of infrastructure in the Indian part of the land ports to boost bilateral trade. He said that poor infrastructure hampers bilateral trade as many products cannot be exported from Bangladesh due to lack of facilities at Indian ports.

Doraiswami informed that India is keen to boost up the bilateral trade between Bangladesh and India. Therefore, He seeks FBCCI’s cooperation to further strengthen the business ties between the two countries. India is keen to invest in Bangladesh’s logistics, food processing, automobile and garment industry.

Among others, FBCCI senior vice president Mostofa Azad Chowdhury Babu, vice president Md Habib Ullah Dawn, directors Rejaul Kariem Rejnu, Bijoy Kumar Kejriwal, Md Shah Jalal, Mohammed Bazlur Rahman, Dr Joshodha Jibon Deb Nath, CIP, Priti Chakraborty and secretary general Mohammad Mahfuzul Hoque were present at the meeting.
