BCCCI Hosts Bangladesh–Yunnan Dialogue to Open New Avenues for Trade, Investment and Business Cooperation
The Bangladesh China Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BCCCI) hosted the Bangladesh–Yunnan Trade and Investment Dialogue on 21 September 2026 at Bengal Blueberry Hotel, Dhaka, bringing together a 30-member Chinese business delegation and Bangladeshi business stakeholders to explore new avenues for trade, investment and long-term cooperation.
The dialogue brought together businesses from logistics and supply chains, import-export, new energy, elevators, building technology, electrical equipment, aluminum, trading and retail, creating opportunities to connect businesses and identify areas for practical cooperation. The discussion was moderated by Md. Abu Taher, Executive Director of BCCCI, facilitating an exchange between the two business communities on investment opportunities, market access and potential areas for cooperation.
In his welcome remarks, Mr. Mohd. Khorshed Alam, President, BCCCI, highlighted the longstanding Bangladesh–China economic relationship and the need to deepen two-way trade. He encouraged greater Chinese investment in Bangladesh while highlighting export opportunities for Bangladeshi home textiles, RMG, leather, seafood and light engineering products in the Chinese market. He also highlighted the potential for Chinese technology and investment to support Bangladesh’s renewable energy and wider energy needs.
Mr. Liu Jie, Deputy Director, Lancang-Mekong Subregional Economic Cooperation and Trade Development Center, introduced Yunnan’s “Three Frees and Three Facilitations” policy, which supports overseas businesses through free bonded warehousing, exhibition space and online marketplace access, alongside facilitation in logistics, customs clearance and transportation. The initiative provides Bangladeshi businesses with practical channels to display, promote and distribute their products in the Chinese market.
The open discussion examined investment opportunities in Bangladesh’s EPZs and economic zones, including the Chinese Economic and Industrial Zone, as well as opportunities in electronics, solar and renewable energy, EVs and auto components, textiles and RMG, agro and food processing, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, IT and IT-enabled services, semiconductors, logistics, light engineering and machinery. Participants also discussed banking and trade finance, LPG and energy, education and university collaboration, technology support and joint ventures.
The dialogue concluded with the signing of an MoU between BCCCI and CHUANG QI BD LTD to promote trade and investment cooperation, facilitate business connections and identify opportunities for joint commercial engagement between Bangladesh and China. This MoU is a testament to the joint efforts between Bangladesh and Yuhan for taking the discussions forward, building stronger business-to-business links between the two markets, and maintaining the economic cooperation between the two countries.

BCCCI hosts pre-departure reception for NITER students set to train in China

The Bangladesh China Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BCCCI) hosted a pre-departure reception on 12 September 2026 at its Gulshan office for eight students of the National Institute of Textile Engineering and Research (NITER), selected for a technical training programme at Zhejiang Agricultural Business College in China.
Commerce Secretary Mr. Md. Ataur Rahman Khan, ndc, attended the programme as the chief guest and commended BCCCI President Mohd. Khorshed Alam for taking what he described as a timely and exemplary initiative to develop skilled manpower for Bangladesh's textile sector.
He said the initiative, undertaken personally by BCCCI President Mohd. Khorshed Alam, is a commendable and timely effort that could play a significant role in the development of Bangladesh and its textile sector. He said such initiatives by private-sector leaders create valuable opportunities for practical learning and should inspire other business leaders to undertake similar programmes in the national interest.
The commerce secretary thanked BCCCI for organising the programme and expressed hope that the initiative would serve as a model for strengthening industry-academia collaboration and providing Bangladeshi students with greater international technical exposure.
He also described the programme as a practical step towards bridging the gap between policy discussions and implementation, saying that Bangladesh's future industrial competitiveness would increasingly depend on skilled human resources, hands-on learning and a more business-friendly environment.
Speaking at the programme, BCCCI President Mr. Mohd. Khorshed Alam said the initiative reflects the chamber's commitment to developing Bangladesh's future textile professionals through international exposure and hands-on learning. Drawing on his experience of visiting industries in 46 countries, he stressed the importance of adopting global best practices in clean production environments, workplace safety, energy efficiency and modern manufacturing technologies.
He encouraged the students to make the most of their training in China, learn from its industrial practices and bring back practical knowledge to contribute to the development and modernisation of Bangladesh's textile and garment sector. The programme also featured a documentary presentation on the initiative, along with reflections from the participating NITER students ahead of their departure.
All expenses of the programme—including travel, visa, hotel accommodation, training fees and other related costs—are being personally borne by BCCCI President Mr. Md. Khorshed Alam.
