Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) Vice Chairman Mir Shahabuddin Muhammed yesterday assured the visiting delegation from Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) of the market promotion drive at a meeting at the EPB office.

"The EPB will participate with Bangladeshi products," he said and also assured them of taking a business delegation from Bangladesh to Pakistan.

The 3-day fair titled "My Karachi" is scheduled to begin on June 24.

The KCCI delegation, led by its president Khalid Firoz, requested the EPB vice chairman to organise Bangladeshi manufacturers to participate in the fair, as part of an effort to reduce Bangladesh's trade deficit with Pakistan.

The EPB vice chairman also called upon the KCCI delegation to pursue Pak government to allow duty-free access of Bangladeshi products so that Bangladesh can increase its exports to Pakistan and reduce trade deficit.
