IBCCI President Abdul Matlub Ahmad chaired the
discussion addressed by MA Samad, executive chairman of Board of Investment.
Pankaj praised Bangladesh’s development initiatives and success stories in different fields saying that Bangladeshis should reach out to different parts of India to project the developments it has achieved over the years. “Many people in India don’t know about the developments in Bangladesh,” said the envoy.
