The 5th Showcase Malaysia-2017 ended on Monday is likely to further promote the Malaysian investment in Bangladesh as many trade and investment proposals have already come from different meetings on the sidelines of the grand event.
“Different investment proposals in many sectors, including tourism and hospitality, health, herbal industry, infrastructure development and power, have come from one to one and other business matching sessions,” chairmen of the fair organising committee Syed Moazzam Hossain told.
At least 50 one to one business matching sessions and two seminars were held during the three-day fair and Pendekar Energy Limited, a Malaysian based company, declared at a seminar to establish a 1250 megawatt coal based power plant in Bangladesh, he said.
Hossain, also a leading businessman in Bangladesh, said all necessary procedures to establish the power plant will be completed as early as possible and the other Malaysian power companies have shown their keen interest to participate in any tender to be floated by Bangladesh government for electricity transmission and distribution in the country.
In the showcase event, Moazzam Hossain said, eight Malaysian doctors provided free medical checkup and treatment to the Bangladeshis patients. “They also met the Bangladeshi doctors in knowledge sharing sessions about the two countries’ health system, he added.
Around 8,000 visitors, including entrepreneurs, exporters, importers, students, professionals and doctors have visited the event to gather knowledge in their respective fields from the 50 Malaysian and four Bangladeshi companies.
