Bangladesh and Thailand are taking fresh steps to deepen economic ties across trade, investment, connectivity, and sustainable development. With this goal in mind, Thailand Week 2025 is set to commence in Dhaka, opening doors for enhanced bilateral cooperation.
On Wednesday (9 July), a press conference and panel discussion were held at Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel, attended by business leaders and officials from both countries.
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between the Thai-Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Bangladesh-Thai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, signaling a commitment to strengthen future business collaboration and boost two-way trade.
During the panel discussion, Md. Tanvir Ahmed—Managing Director of Sheltech Group, Envoy Legacy, Envoy Textiles, Green Textiles, and Director of the Bangladesh-Thai Chamber—stressed the need to move beyond policy dialogue toward actionable engagement. “Businesses must work jointly, sharing experience and technology,” he said.
Ahmed highlighted Bangladesh’s young and skilled workforce as a key attraction for Thai investors, while noting the benefits Bangladeshi entrepreneurs could gain from Thailand’s advanced logistics and technological landscape. His remarks sparked enthusiasm among attendees and interest in sector-specific business platforms.
The session was chaired by Shams Mahmud, President of the Bangladesh-Thai Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
It was announced that the official inauguration of Thailand Week 2025 will take place Thursday afternoon at Hotel Sonargaon.
The event is jointly organized by the Bangladesh-Thai Chamber, Thai-Bangladesh Chamber, the Thai Embassy in Dhaka, and Thailand’s Department of International Trade Promotion under the Ministry of Commerce.
