CNN inks MoU to cover Bangladesh Business Summit 2023

The Federation of Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industries (FBCCI) will organise the “Bangladesh Business Summit 2023” in March 2023 to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

To cover this mega event globally, the FBCCI signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with US-based multinational news channel Cable News Network – better known as CNN – as its international media partner Saturday.

Under this agreement, CNN will promote trade potential and investment opportunities in Bangladesh globally.

FBCCI President Md Jashim Uddin and CNN South Asia Sales Director Abhijeet Dhar signed the MoU in the capital. Prime Minister’s Private Industry and Investment Adviser Salman Fazlur Rahman was present at that time.

Salman said: “The business representatives and investors of different countries can learn about the success and potential of Bangladesh through the business summit, which will attract foreign investors.”

“Besides national and international investment, the small and mid-size enterprise (SME) sector will get special attention at the summit.”

Jashim said potential sectors like textile, digital economy, circular economy, and the blue economy will be showcased at the summit.

Entrepreneurs who have contributed to the country’s economy and freedom fighter businessmen will get recognition from the FBCCI.

Through this summit Bangladesh can benefit from industry relocations across the world, Jashim said.

The director general of the World Trade Organization, the trade commissioner of the European Union, the chairman of Jetro, SEOs of several multinational companies, ministers of several countries, and business representatives will attend the summit.
