FICCI President Naser Ezaz Bijoy said, "The Prime Minister of the People's Republic of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, has agreed to inaugurate this event as the chief guest as per the pre-scheduled date. However, now the Prime Minister is likely to visit Jeddah, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to attend the International Conference on Women in Islam which will be held on 6-8 November. For this reason, she has given her consent to inaugurate this programme on 19 November at the same venue Radisson Blu Dhaka Water Garden in the capital."

Naser also said that all preparations for the event with the theme 'Forever Futures Forward' are at the final stage. Only the date has been changed as per the instruction of the prime minister.
