Bangladesh presented its unconventional products in the fair and the products generated enthusiasm among the foreign businessmen, said the Embassy in a press release.
Many of them enquired about these products with interest. These enthusiasm and interest may assist us to create a future market for these products in Korea which would further strengthen our bilateral commercial relationship, it said.
In order to provide opportunities for the partner countries for showcasing their new products annually to the Korean buyers, Korea Importers Association (KOIMA) has been organising the Fair for a long time.
This year, 50 countries including Bangladesh participated in this fair, said the Embassy.
On June 21, KOIMA Chairman Myoung-jin Shin, in presence of the ambassadors and diplomatic representatives of the participating countries inaugurated the fair.
When the KOIMA Chairman and other Ambassadors visited Bangladesh Pavilion, Ambassador Abida Islam and other officials of the Embassy welcomed them.
