In order to showcase Bangladesh’s potential for foreign direct investment (FDI), a high-level government team has departed for China. Ashiq Chowdhury, Executive Chairman of the Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA) and Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), is leading the delegation.

Senior BIDA and BEZA officials are part of the trip, along with representatives from City Bank NA, HSBC, and Standard Chartered Bangladesh.

This information was given in a BIDA press release on Sunday.

According to BIDA, the team is spending the July 20–26 tour to Shanghai and Guangzhou, China, taking part in a number of activities. On July 21, BIDA and the Embassy of Bangladesh in Shanghai will collaborate to host an investment seminar. It is anticipated that around 100 Chinese businesses from the fields of electronics, textiles, agribusiness, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices will attend the conference.

“The excitement in our visit is quite encouraging,” stated Ashiq Chowdhury, BIDA and BEZA’s executive chairman. “We will give all the information and assistance required for investment in Bangladesh, and we look forward to fruitful conversations with Chinese businesses.”

BIDA added that the tour is a calculated move to strengthen economic cooperation and establish enduring ties with international investors. Such high-level talks will be crucial for expanding export markets, transferring technology, and boosting foreign investment in the industrial sector.
