The 29th edition of the Dhaka International Trade Fair will start on January 1, 2025, and will be held at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Exhibition Center at Purbachal on the outskirts of the Dhaka city, according to a press release.
The DITF steering committee-2025 in its first meeting on Tuesday made the decision.
The meeting was held to determine the various administrative and financial policies of the fair, the formation of various sub-committees, the floor price of various types of stalls/pavilions/restaurants and the entrance tickets of the fair and other lease work.
