A glitzy, sparkling global affair

The 25th edition of the Dhaka International Trade Fair (DITF) kicked off at the start of this month in the capital’s Agargaon. Some 483 stalls and pavilions showcased products from 21 different countries and 55 foreign brands.  The month-long event was conceived with the view to increasing sales of local commodities and bringing in foreign goods to Bangladesh. Glamourous displays by companies attracted people to their stalls and there was substantial sales. This was a chance for the country’s people to get a glimpse of what the world has to offer. And they did not pass up the chance as the large crowds proved. The fair will conclude at the end of the month.
