DHAKA: Wales Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce (WBCC) is undertaking their third trade visit to Bangladesh to continue their efforts to strengthen trade ties with Bangladesh, and to highlight commercial opportunities presented by Welsh companies.

The visit will build on the success of the visit in December 2016 of the Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy to Bangladesh Rushanara Ali.

During their visit, WBCC will visit Dhaka, Sylhet and Chittagong and meet key Government officials and industry leaders in order to seek out the best business opportunities and to strengthen trade bonds, said a press release.

The delegation will highlight new companies that are the best in their sector to explore the potential to generate commercial gains for both nations and to help meet mutual prosperity goals.

The delegation includes representatives from the University of South Wales (the largest university in Wales) and IJH Consulting who distribute UK manufactured compressors across Bangladesh.

Welcoming the delegation, British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Ms Alison Blake said: “I am delighted that the Wales Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce (WBCC) members are visiting Bangladesh for the third time to build on the successes of their earlier missions, and to develop new and improved business relationships between Wales and Bangladesh.

Their entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to the commercial and cultural bonds between our two countries is a great example of Britain’s outward facing and global engagement.

Dilabor A Hussain, Chair and leader of Delegation, said: “This is an excellent opportunity to showcase the longstanding partnership between Wales and Bangladesh. I hope our strategic vision may lead to beneficial business wins and the Wales Bangladesh Chamber will continue to support in building bridges for the commercial benefit of both countries.”
