Strong Bilateral Relations

The exhibition, held at COEX Hall B from June 23 to 25, was organised by the Korea-Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KBCCI) in collaboration with the Embassy of Bangladesh in Seoul. The event was jointly inaugurated by Korea Importers Association (KOIMA) Chairman YoungMi Youn and Bangladesh Ambassador to the Republic of Korea Toufiq Islam Shatil, along with ambassadors from several countries and other distinguished guests.
