Dhaka International Trade Fair was first held in 1995. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it was not possible to organize the fair last year.
This year, the fair has been organized keeping in mind the birth centenary of Bangabandhu, the golden jubilee of independence and development activities of the government.
Traders from more than 11 countries are participating in the fair.
A documentary on the development of the country, especially trade and commerce, was screened at the program.
