DHAKA, March 3, 2023 (BSS) - A business-to-business (B2B) match-making event 
will be held in the last week of May to expand business between Bangladesh 
and Japan.

Japan-Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industries (JBCCI), UNIDO ITPO Tokyo 
and Haison International Limited will jointly organise the event in Japan, 
said a press release here today.

The weeklong event is likely to take place from May 22-26 in Tokyo, Osaka and 
Fukuoka, the release added.

Speaking at a meeting organised by JBCCI in Dhaka on Thursday, UNIDO ITPO 
Industrial Development Officer Ikue Toshinaga called upon businesses to 
participate in the event and find new ways of opportunities to initiate 
business between the two countries.

"B2B events help business communities of both the countries to find out new 
ways of expanding businesses and it has been a successful event so far," she

JBCCI and its contribution to promoting bilateral trade relations. 

JBCCI board members, past presidents, members and other distinguished guests 
attended the meeting.

They also discussed how the B2B event in Japan can be more effective and how 
they can attract more Japanese investors to invest in Bangladesh.
