The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) recently organised a high-profile B2B matchmaking event at its Dhaka headquarters, bringing together industry leaders from Bangladesh and China to explore new avenues for collaboration in the textile sector.
The event featured a delegation of 30 representatives from 13 prominent Chinese textile companies, led by Zhang Xi’an, Vice Chairman of the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Textiles (CCCPT). The Chinese delegation engaged in exclusive business meetings with 53 Bangladeshi manufacturers, focusing on potential cooperation in areas such as man-made fibre (MMF), green textile innovation, and home textiles.
The initiative aims to strengthen trade relations, attract foreign investment, create employment opportunities, and promote knowledge and technology exchange between the two nations’ textile industries.
BGMEA Administrator Anwar Hossain highlighted Bangladesh’s strengths in the ready-made garment (RMG) sector, with particular emphasis on the country’s expanding focus on non-cotton garments, sustainability, and innovation. He underscored Bangladesh’s efforts to increase its share in the rapidly growing global MMF garment market, which constitutes a significant portion of international garment exports.
This matchmaking event marks a significant step toward enhancing bilateral cooperation and positioning Bangladesh as a more diversified and sustainable apparel sourcing hub. Both sides expressed optimism about forging long-term partnerships rooted in shared expertise and mutual growth objectives.
