Bangladesh Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed and Manipur Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh discussed increasing volumes of imports from Bangladesh to the Indian state of Manipur during a visit by the Bangladesh Commerce Minister.

Commerce Minister Ahmed talked about Bangladesh's quality exports, and expressed his country's desire to trade goods including furniture, ready-made garments, and food. Minister Ahmed stated that increasing imports of Bangladeshi products to Manipur and other states of the North East will benefit both countries.
