He highlighted the mutual benefits of textile sector collaboration and stated:
“The participation of a large delegation from Bangladesh in Bharat Tex 2025 will open up new opportunities for establishing new supply chain linkages, investment, and technology tie-ups across various segments of the textile value chain.”
Verma further stressed that stronger trade connectivity and economic engagement between India and Bangladesh would continue to bring their people and businesses closer together.
The event was attended by Md. Anwar Hossain (BGMEA & EPB Vice-Chairman) and Mohammad Hatem (BKMEA President) as Guests of Honour. Special guests included Faruque Hassan (BUFT Chairman) and Md. Jashim Uddin (Bengal Commercial Bank Chairman).
