The Dhaka International Trade Fair (DITF) will begin in the third week of January at the Bangabandhu Bangladesh-China Friendship Exhibition Center in Dhaka’s Purbachal area.
A senior official of the Commerce Ministry said the trade fair will start between January 15 to 20 instead of January 1 due to the national election, to be held on January 7.
