CA inaugurates DITF-2025

Chief Adviser (CA) to the interim government Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus has inaugurated the 29th Dhaka International Trade Fair (DITF)-2025 at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Exhibition Center in Purbachal.

He announced the month-long fair's inauguration at 11:28 pm on Wednesday (December 1). Like the previous years, the Ministry of Commerce and the EPB have jointly been organising the fair. The trade fair is going to be held for the fourth time in a row at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Exhibition Center in Purbachal.

Apart from Bangladesh, a total of 11 business entities from seven countries are participating in this year's fair. Participating countries are India, Pakistan, Turkey, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong and Malaysia.

According to the layout plan of the fair, some 361 pavilions/stalls/restaurants of different categories have been allocated in favour of local producing and exporters firms, general business establishments and foreign business entities in a cent per cent transparent manner.

The space for stalls/pavilions of various categories was allocated online for the first time in this trade fair.

The e-ticketing system has also been arranged for the first time at the fair. Apart from this, BRTC's dedicated bus service would be available alongside

Uber service at a special discount to facilitate the travel of buyers and visitors to and from the fair venue.

Apart from this, "July Chattar" and "Chhatrish Chattar" were created at the fair venue in honour of the sacrifices of students in the anti-discrimination

students' movement. A Youth Pavilion has been set up to encourage the youth of the country in export trade. Initiatives have also been taken this year to organize potential sector/product-wise seminars at the fair.

There will be separate sourcing corners and electronics and furniture zones for the convenience of foreign entrepreneurs and participants.

The technology corner has been installed for the convenience of age-based visitors while the seating corner will be there for senior citizens. There is also a children's park at the fair to ensure pure entertainment. 

Like before, the fair will remain open from 10.00 am to 9.00 pm throughout the month (until 10.00 pm on weekends).
