Prime Minister Tarique Rahman toured the Investors Expo hosted by the Foreign Investors' Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) on Thursday prior to joining the international forum titled "FICCI FDI Conference 2026: Driving Foreign Investment for Jobs and Prosperity in Bangladesh."

The day-long exhibition and conference launched this morning at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Conference Center (BCFCC) in the capital, aiming to boost foreign direct investment (FDI) to generate employment opportunities and foster economic growth across Bangladesh.

While visiting the venue, the Prime Minister inspected various display stalls and held discussions with delegates representing local as well as overseas corporate entities.

Organizers highlighted that as Bangladesh prepares to transition out of the Least Developed Country (LDC) classification, the nation is simultaneously ramping up initiatives to draw higher volumes of foreign direct investment.

Against this backdrop, they stressed that constructive dialogue and deeper cooperation between market investors and policy architects have grown increasingly critical.

They further noted that both the conference and the Investors Expo were arranged to enable this level of strategic interaction while highlighting Bangladesh’s vast investment prospects to international investors.

Accompanying the Prime Minister on his walkthrough were FICCI President and Berger Paints Bangladesh Managing Director Rupali Haque Chowdhury, Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) Executive Chairman Chowdhury Ashik Mahmud Bin Harun, along with several foreign investors.
