Earlier, the Economic Relations Department (ERD) of Bangladesh and the authority concerned of the Chinese government signed an agreement for the fund worth 210 million Yuan that will be required to establish BCFEC at the northwestern side of the Tejgaon old airport.
An 11-member delegation of Beijing Institute of Architectural Design had visited Bangladesh to finalise the design after conducting survey of the site.
