Past Events

Israt Ara, Bangladesh’s new Consul General in Hong Kong, visited the Chamber today, where she was greeted by Chamber CEO George Leung and Asia & Africa Committee Chairman Jonathan Lamport. 

Accompanied by Consul Md Nazmul Alam and Vice Consul Md Marzuk Islam, the Consul General said business associations in Bangladesh recognised Hong Kong’s unique status as a business hub and were interested in expanding connections with Hong Kong businesses. The Bangladeshi Government was working on establishing 100 new special economic zones to attract foreign investors, particularly for Mainland, Japanese and Korean businesses, who were looking to diversify their supply chains. She said she hoped borders will be able to reopen without social restrictions so both sides will be able to interact face-to-face through networking events, seminars and business delegations.
