In his inaugural address, Munshi appreciated the role played by the business community in the overall development of the country and making Bangladesh the fastest growing economy in the world today, said a press release from the ICCB.

He expressed hope that the business community along with the public sector will continue to work to fulfill the vision of Prime Minister Shaikh Hasina to make Bangladesh a developed country by 2041.

He congratulated  ICC Bangladesh President Mahbubur Rahman, members of the executive board as well as the members and patrons of the organisation for setting up a state-of-the-art secretariat and expressed his hope that in future they will play the same positive role for further development of the country.

ICCB Vice President AK Azad in his vote of thanks recalled the role played by founding ICCB Vice President Latifur Raman and recalled his guidance and continuous support to ICCB in carrying out various activities since the National Secretariat was set up in 1994.

He thanked the commerce minister for inaugurating the new secretariat and for his assurance of extending full support of his ministry to the business community. He also thanked the members and patrons for attending the inaugural ceremony.
