DHAKA, May 3, 2025 (BSS) - Canada's Indo-Pacific Trade Representative Paul Thoppil will arrive in Bangladesh this evening with a business delegation on a four-day visit beginning from Sunday.
 
In Bangladesh, Thoppil will meet with key members of Bangladesh's Interim Government, other stakeholders, and leaders from the private sector, said a press release issued by the Canadian high commission here.
 
During his visit, he will underscore Canada's commitment to Bangladesh at a pivotal moment in the country's history as it pursues democratic reforms towards a free and fair election.

He will highlight Canada's engagement in the region, notably through its Indo-Pacific Strategy, and identify ways to expand trade and investment between Canada and Bangladesh.

He will also conduct field visits to key private sector zones that are illustrative of the longstanding bilateral trade relationship and people-to-people ties.

Canada and Bangladesh share a growing trade and investment relationship, with Bangladesh being a large and growing market that is one of Canada's key trading partners, said the Canadian high commission.

Canada is a major exporter of wheat, pulses, cereals, and machinery to Bangladesh, and is a significant buyer of Bangladesh-made textiles and garments.

Both countries continue to explore opportunities for deeper economic collaboration, particularly in sectors such as information technology, aerospace, agriculture and clean energy, said the release.
