During the visit, they first watched a corporate documentary on Walton and then went around the factory.
After the visit, Mr Rahman, chairman of Dhaka University's marketing department, said, "There is a saying in English - ‘Seeing is believing'."
"Without seeing the Walton factory, it is hard to believe that Walton is such a big manufacturing industry. We are overwhelmed.
"Walton is contributing to the socio-economic development and also to the national GDP [gross domestic product]."
Walton Hi-Tech Industries Limited's Managing Director Engineer Golam Murshed thanked the delegation for visiting the factory.
