Trade fair extended by 4 days

Staff Correspondent: Dhaka International Trade Fair 2017 has been extended by four days following the demands of participating businessmen.

 

Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed said this while talking to reporters after a meeting of the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) on Monday.

 

The commerce minister said, “Time for the fair has been extended following the demands of the participating businessmen. This time, the fair will continue until February 4 to meet the demand of the businessmen although it was supposed to end on January 31.”

 

Earlier in 2015, the number of visitors in the fair was relatively low partly because of the countrywide roads and waterways blockade enforced by BNP-led 20-party.

 

Due to this, the government extended the Dhaka International Trade Fair 2015 by 10 days following the demands of participating businessmen.
