 A high-level Chinese delegation led by Liu Jie, deputy director of the Lancang-Mekong Sub-regional Economic and Trade Development Centre of the Department of Commerce in Yunnan Province, held a meeting today with Anwar Hossain, vice chairman of the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) of Bangladesh. 

The meeting focused on enhancing cross-border trade cooperation between Yunnan and Bangladesh, said a press release here. 

The EPB vice-chairman provided the delegation with a clear picture of the potential export sectors, investment opportunities, and the way forward to reduce the existing trade gap between the two countries.

During the discussion, the Chinese delegation offered free warehouse facilities and a dedicated product showcase center for Bangladeshi goods in Yunnan. 

This initiative aims to support Bangladeshi exporters in gaining better access to the Chinese market, the largest consumer market in the world.

To ensure effective participation of Bangladesh in the upcoming China-South Asia Expo, scheduled to be held from June 19-24, 2025, the delegation assured its support in organising business matchmaking meetings between Bangladeshi exporters and potential Chinese buyers.

This is expected to boost trade ties and promote new export opportunities.

In a significant development for the agricultural sector, the delegation also assured facilitation of market access for Bangladeshi fruit exporters, helping them enter and expand in the Chinese market. 

The meeting was also attended by Director General (DG) of the EPB Baby Rani Karmokar and its Director (Policy) Abu Mukhles Alamgir Hossain. 

Officials from the Bangladesh Foreign Trade Institute (BFTI), and representatives from the Bangladesh Agro-Processors' Association (BAPA), the Fresh Vegetables, Fruits and Allied Exporters Association, the Bangladesh 
Chemical Industries Corporation (BCIC), along with concerned exporters were also present.

The discussions mark a promising step toward deeper economic collaboration between Bangladesh and Yunnan Province under the broader framework of the Lancang-Mekong regional cooperation.
