Panchagarh--(UNB) – A month-long Bangladesh-Nepal joint trade fair will begin at Sirajul Islam Stadium here on February 10 following the two country’s latest thrust on enhancing bilateral economic cooperation.

Commerce Minister Abdul Jalil is expected to inaugurate the fair being arranged by Panchagarh Chamber and Michi Chamber of Nepal in association with the Bangladesh Commerce Ministry.

The two chambers signed memorandum of understanding when Panchagarh chamber president toured Nepal last year as an FBCCI delegation member as his frontier district is the transit point.

Representatives of both chambers urged the government to allow duty-free entry of Nepalese goods to the fair through Banglabandha land customs on the transit route.

The commodity bazaar will accommodate 100 stalls of Bangladesh and 50 of Nepal showcasing goods and services of agriculture, industry, education, health and culture.

Commerce and Foreign Ministers of the Himalayan Kingdom and its Ambassador in Dhaka are expected to attend the inaugural ceremony.

Meanwhile, preparations are going on in full swing to successfully hold the two-country exhibition.

A meeting chaired by the Panchagarh DC Rabiul Islam on January 29 reviewed the progress of preparatory works.

Approach roads to the fair venue are being repaired while district administration is making arrangements to host the guests from Nepal at MR Government College.
