The Bangladesh Foreign Trade Institute (BFTI) has taken an initiative to facilitate the bilateral trade between Bangladesh and India.
The BFTI organised the first stakeholder consultation meeting of the joint study on a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between Bangladesh and India on Wednesday virtually. The meeting solely focused on the investment section of the joint study.
Speakers at the discussion put emphasis on increasing bilateral investment flows between two countries considering the potentials.
Dr Md Jafar Uddin, senior secretary to the commerce ministry, joined the event as the chief guest and Md Obaidul Azam, chief executive officer (in-charge) at the BFTI, chaired and moderated it.
Jafar said, “Mutual recognition in the area of investment and trade between Bangladesh and India can strengthen the historical bonding and create more opportunities for growth.”
