Export diversification must be prioritised: Commerce Minister

The commerce minister said, we have many products globally; rather than focusing only on products, emphasis should be placed on their diversification. This step is essential to strengthen Bangladesh's participation in the global economy. He also said that our global competitive position must be further strengthened through close relations with important trade partners, including the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union. Calling for establishing new relations with international trade partners and further strengthening existing relations, he expressed hope for everyone's cooperation to make the expo a success.

The “Global Sourcing Expo Dhaka 2026” is being held at BCFEC from November 15 to 17 through the joint initiative of the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) and BGMEA. More than 60 pavilions from 15 countries around the world are participating in the expo; in addition, buyer representatives from 28 countries will be present. Present at the event were Commerce Adviser Mahbubur Rahman, EPB Vice Chairman Md. Abdul Khalek, BGMEA President Mahmud Hasan Khan and BGMEA Director Md. Rezwan Selim.
