FBCCI President said that India and Bangladesh have great commercial relations. There are immense opportunities to strengthen the trade between the two countries.
“Bangladesh has many potential products to export to India, which India imports from other countries. Bangladesh can use this opportunity,” Jasim pointed out.
FBCCI president said that many international standard products including tiles, ceramics products, electronic equipment, and bicycles made in Bangladesh are being exported to various European countries. Bangladesh can export these products to India if it eases non-trade barriers in the Indian market.
