During a courtesy meeting with the newly appointed ambassador of Bangladesh to Libya, Major General Abul Hasnat Mohammad Khairul Bashar, FBCCI President Md. Jashim Uddin emphasized the need to enhance commercial activities to broaden trade in non-conventional markets. The FBCCI Icon hosted a meeting on Wednesday, May 17th.
