Many Asian countries such as Brunei, China, India, Myanmar, Malaysia, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Singapore and Vietnam will also participate in the four-day trade fair.

Bangladeshi companies will showcase their products such as readymade garments, including woolen sweater, jute goods, silk items, ceramic tableware, towels, bed linen and other home textile products, leather fashion bags and handicraft, kitchenware and giftware in the Asia on Show.

It is hoped that Bangladeshi exporters will be able to attract potential Australian importers and take advantage of the duty free regime available in Australia for products from LDCs.

Bangladesh High Commission in Canberra in association with the Export Promotion Bureau of Bangladesh is facilitating and coordinating the participation of Bangladeshi companies in the show.

The first two days of the exhibition will be open to commercial and business people and the last two days will be open to all visitors, said a press release yesterday.
