UNB, Dhaka :
A 25-member strong business delegation from Wales arrives here on Sunday to drive forward business relations between Wales and Bangladesh in the fields of ‘knowledge businesses and knowledge transfer’.
Organised by the Wales Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce (WBCC), the trade mission will be here to showcase leading Welsh companies to the local business community and introduce them with the growing Bangladesh economy and market.
British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Robert Gibson said Wales and the UK are world leaders in many knowledge-based fields and he is certain that exciting future collaboration will emerge as part of this mission.
“I’m delighted that such a diverse range of Welsh companies are in Bangladesh to showcase the best of Welsh business and entrepreneurship here,” he added.
Eminent organisations such as the University of South Wales, the largest University in Wales, and TechniQuest, the leading Science Centre in Wales, are among just a few businesses that are accompanying this mission.
Aiming to seek out the best business opportunities, the delegation will visit the main cities of Dhaka, Sylhet and Chittagong during an eight-day visit to Bangladesh till January 31.
They will have meetings with ministers and senior government officials at the Commerce and Education Ministries in the capital and national chambers and industry leaders in all three cities.
Ahead of the mission, Chair and leader of the delegation Dilabor A Hussain said, “This is the second installment of our chambers activity to build a new and better trading relationship between Wales and Bangladesh.”
The delegation leader said Wales with its high tech businesses and industrial heritage has a real synergy with Bangladesh as it develops its own industrial heritage. “Wales can provide manufacturing, mining and technology expertise to Bangladesh so that it’s better placed within the growing international market.”
The mission takes place after the successful first official Welsh government trade mission to Bangladesh organised by the WBCC in 2011, where the 23 delegates explored the trading opportunities in Bangladesh in the upcoming energy and renewable sector.
In addition to the transfer of skills and knowledge via the business relationships, the WBCC is keen to assist Bangladesh and Wales to start developing bilateral trade and political relationships as both nations have much to offer each other in accordance to their respective national visions for growth.
