Kingmansa proudly participated as a Platinum Sponsor at the Africa Bangladesh Business Summit 2026, held at the prestigious Gulshan Club, Dhaka. The summit was successfully organized by the Africa Bangladesh Business Forum (ABBF) with the goal of strengthening trade, investment, and business cooperation between Bangladesh and African nations.

The event brought together government officials, business leaders, investors, exporters, industry experts, entrepreneurs, and members of the African community in Bangladesh to explore new opportunities for collaboration across key sectors.

The summit began at 9:30 AM with the National Anthem of Bangladesh, followed by a welcome address from Mr. Zahirul Haq, Founder and President of ABBF. In his remarks, he highlighted Africa’s growing importance as a strategic economic partner for Bangladesh and emphasized the need to build sustainable business bridges between the two regions.

The opening session featured a keynote speech by Mr. Mizanur Rahman, Chairman of Fortune Group and Advisor to ABBF, who shared valuable insights on emerging business opportunities across African markets. He encouraged Bangladeshi businesses to explore Africa’s fast-growing economies and strengthen their presence in the region.

The Chief Guest, Mr. A.T.M. Abdul Rouf, Director General, Africa Wing, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Government of Bangladesh, addressed the gathering and highlighted the importance of stronger diplomatic and economic engagement between Bangladesh and African countries. He also reaffirmed government support for initiatives that promote bilateral trade, investment, and people-to-people connectivity.

One of the major highlights of the summit was the panel discussion titled “Unlocking Opportunities Between Bangladesh and Africa: Challenges, Prospects and Strategic Pathways.” The session was moderated by Mr. Zahirul Haq and featured distinguished panelists including:

Another important part of the event was the interactive dialogue between members of the African community in Bangladesh and ABBF members. The discussion focused on improving trade connectivity, addressing business challenges, and creating stronger partnerships between African and Bangladeshi stakeholders.

The event also included remarks from Major General Md. Masud Rezwan (Retd.), Advisor to ABBF and former Director General of Immigration and Passports, Government of Bangladesh. He emphasized the importance of long-term engagement, institutional collaboration, and policy support to unlock the vast economic potential between Bangladesh and Africa.
