Western Marine Shipyard Limited (WMShL) will participate in the three-day German Trade Show beginning at Bangladesh China Friendship Conference Centre today (Thursday).

The Bangladesh German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BGCCI) is organizing the first ever trade show to enhance trade and business ties between the two countries with the support of Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany, Dhaka.

Commerce Advisor Hossain Zillur Rahman is expected to inaugurate the fair. German Ambassador in Dhaka Frank Meyke, Executive Chairman of Board of Investment Kamaluddin Ahmed and FBCCI President Annisul Huq are also expected to attend the inaugural programme as special guests.

The fair will bring manufacturers, Shipbuilders, traders, institutions, exporters, investors and service providers together to forge a better business relation between Bangladesh and Germany.

Around 65 exhibitors in 103 booths are expected to display their products and services at the fair. They will also display German technology at the fair as those have earned an excellent reputation in Bangladesh. The BGCCI will also organize a number of seminars on shipbuilding, leather, financial services and other potential sectors.

The purpose of the participation of WMShL in this event is to make its presence felt, grow awareness in the shipping community of Bangladesh and also amongst the overseas buyers who would be participating in this fair.

WMShL has recently acquired shipbuilding orders from Germany.
