D-8 CCI Business Forum & Expo 2022 to be held in city July 26-27

The D-8 Chamber of Commerce and Industries (D-8 CCI) on Monday announced that the D-8 CCI Business Forum and Expo 2022 will be held in Dhaka on July 26-27 to commemorate the silver jubilee anniversary of the establishment.

The announcement was made at a press conference held at the Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel where D-8 CCI President Sheikh Fazle Fahim along with its Secretary General Ashraful Haq Chowdhury and FBCCI Director Sujib Ranjan Dash were present and discussed the programme agenda.

This year’s D-8 CCI Business Forum and Expo 2022 will explore the possibilities around building value chain integration between Bangladesh and the seven other member countries of the D-8 – Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan and Turkey.

The two-day D-8 CCI Business Forum and Expo, 2022 will be attended by the Presidents of Chambers of Commerce and heads of delegation and representatives from Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan and Turkey along with other dignitaries and business leaders from the member countries.

Additionally, over 40 delegates from the eight D-8 member countries are expected to be present. Local Bangladeshi companies will also be present with Build in Bangladesh pavilions at the expo zone for the visitors to visit.

Speaking about the upcoming event, Sheikh Fazle Fahim said the D-8 CCI Business Forum & Expo 2022 will focus on the theme of value chain integration amongst the apex bodies of business and trade from the D-8 member countries.

He said the global Covid-19 pandemic and recent global economic developments have afflicted them with inflationary pressures, supply chain disruption, and stagflation; thus, the time is ripe to explore value chain integration across the D-8 nations for trade, investment and economic sustainability.

“On the 25th anniversary of the D-8, I express the hope that D-8 CCI Business Forum & Expo 2022 will create new possibilities to build trade relations and create new business opportunities amongst the D-8 member nations. Through this collaborative platform, we hope to open up pathways that enable the honorable D-8 member nations to grow their respective economies in a collaborative manner,” Fahim said.
