Mr. Md. Alamgir, Secretary General of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI), attended the 18th China-South Asia Business Forum in Yuxi, Yunnan, China, on October 15, 2025.

The Forum functions as a pivotal institutional platform designed to significantly enhance bilateral and multilateral economic cooperation between China and South Asian nations. Bringing together government representatives, business leaders, and stakeholders. It focuses on accelerating trade liberalization, promoting mutual investment, and establishing consensus on key initiatives to improve regional connectivity. It is instrumental in fostering a more integrated, resilient, and prosperous business environment across the region.

In his address, the Secretary General of FBCCI stated, from the Belt and Road Initiative to breakthroughs in AI, 5G, health technology, fintech, and green innovation, China has shown the world how to build and harness new productive forces at scale. China is a role model to the South Asian nations. As Bangladesh charts its own path, we invite our Chinese counterparts and investors to deepen engagement with us through joint ventures in advanced manufacturing, R&D collaborations, and pioneering projects in renewable energy and climate-resilient infrastructure.

Mr. Alamgir mentioned, our vision is of a partnership that goes beyond the trade. It is about creating a symbiotic relationship where China’s technological leadership and economic scale merge with Bangladesh’s strategic location and youthful talent pool to generate shared prosperity.
