A Bangladesh delegation, led by Chowdhury Ashik Mahmud Bin Harun, executive chairman of the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), arrived in the Republic of Korea on a five-day visit, said a press released.

The visit comes with a mission to boost foreign direct investment in Bangladesh.

The delegation includes senior representatives from key government agencies—the Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA), the Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (BEPZA), and the National Board of Revenue (NBR).

The mission is being facilitated with technical support from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group.

During the visit, the team is expected to meet Korean businesses to explore investment opportunities in sectors such as electronics, shipbuilding, power generation, textiles, chemicals, and heavy construction.
