DCCI celebrates diamond jubilee
The Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) yesterday celebrated its 60th anniversary reaffirming its commitment to work for ensuring a business-friendly environment in Bangladesh.
“Since its establishment in 1958, the chamber has been working relentlessly for the betterment of the business community,” DCCI President Abul Kasem Khan said yesterday.
He called upon all political parties not to engage in any activities that hamper the economy ahead of elections.
The chamber—a major promoter of small and medium enterprises and the first point of business contact for penetration into new markets—organised an event to mark the anniversary at Army Golf Club in the capital.
The chamber would organise an international conference titled “Destination Bangladesh” to showcase the country's potential and attract foreign direct investment, Khan said.
“We need to invest more in the infrastructure sector to attract FDI.” Shafiul Islam Mohiuddin, president of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry; Siddiqur Rahman, president of Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association, and Mahbubur Rahman, president of the International Chamber of Commerce Bangladesh, attended the programme.
Former DCCI presidents MA Sattar, Aftab-ul Islam, Syeeful Islam, MH Rahman, R Maksud Khan, Benajir Ahmed, MA Momen, Hossain Khaled, and Asif Ibrahim were also present.
