Ceylon Chamber to host high-level biz delegation from B’desh

The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with the Sri Lanka – Bangladesh Business Council, will host a visiting business delegation from the Dhaka Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DCCI), Bangladesh on June 17 June at the Hilton Colombo Residence.

The delegation comprises 24 representatives from 22 Bangladeshi companies, spanning a wide range of sectors including automobiles, FMCG, agri cold chain, IT services, logistics, construction, packaging, financial services, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy, manufacturing, and apparel.

The visit will facilitate direct business-to-business (B2B) engagement between Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi enterprises, with a view to exploring trade partnerships, investment opportunities, and 

joint ventures. 

The event offers an ideal platform for Sri Lankan businesses to connect with potential partners involved in export-import operations, manufacturing, infrastructure development, software development, and energy solutions.

With a population of over 170 million and Preferential Trade Access to major markets including the EU, UK, Canada, and Japan under the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP), Bangladesh presents a compelling gateway for Sri Lankan businesses looking to expand. Its strategic connectivity to India, China, and ASEAN countries further strengthens its position as a regional hub for trade and investment.

The programme will begin at 9:30 a.m., and includes opportunities for networking, sector-focused discussions, and pre-scheduled B2B meetings tailored to aligned interests. Given the high levels of interest in the event, Sri Lankan companies are encouraged to register early to secure their participation.
