The visiting 15-member Iranian business delegation Sunday proposed to form a special committee on exchange of information to increase trade and investment between Bangladesh and Iran.
The Iranian leader of the delegation Gholamhossein Shafeai said this while he was speaking at a discussion meeting with the local entrepreneurs in the city.
The Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) organised the discussion meeting at its conference room in the city.
DCCI President Hossain Khaled moderated the discussion meeting.
The visiting team leader said speedy exchange of pertinent information between the relevant quarters is necessary for the growth of trade between the two countries.
"I think formation of such a committee will help us to know each other better and exchange vital information among us quickly," Gholamhossein added.
He said at least one meeting should be held every month either in Dhaka or Iran to foster relationship and explore business opportunities.
The team leader also said that the present Iranian government was offering attractive packages to both local and foreign investors for expanding their business.
DCCI president Hossain Khaled said communication is one of the prime requisites to establish a good business partnership which would help reduce the trade gap between the two countries.
He also said the bilateral trade and economic cooperation between the countries is far below the existing potentials.
Bangladesh's export to Iran was US$ 50.18 million while its import was $ 29.48 million last fiscal.
