31st Chittagong International Trade Fair (CITF) is starting on Thursday (February 15) at the Railway Polo Grounds in Tigerpass, Chittagong city. Besides, the fifth Chittagong IT Fair will be held at the World Trade Center on February 18-19.
Omar Hajjaz, president of the Chamber, gave this information at a press conference at the Bangabandhu Conference Hall of the World Trade Center in Agrabad on Monday (February 12).
He said, Why is there so much shortage of playgrounds in Chittagong? This is our failure. Many playgrounds are vacant. The chamber has been demanding every year for the construction of an international standard expo center. There are proposals to set up expo centers at several places including Jungle Salimpur. It is very important. After the fair, I cleaned the playground and returned it as I found it.
CITF Chairman AKM Akhtar Hossain said that Education Minister Barrister Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury Naufel will be the chief guest at the opening ceremony of CITF on February 15 at 4 pm. State Minister for Commerce Ahsanul Islam Titu will inaugurate the fair. MA Latif, Member of Parliamentary Standing Committee on Shipping Ministry will be the special guest. FBCCI president Mahbubul Alam will be the guest of honour.
