MCCI opens second office in Gulshan 1
The Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Dhaka (MCCI) yesterday opened a second office in the capital to better meet needs of its members.
Planning Minister MA Mannan inaugurated the office at Police Plaza Concord in Gulshan 1. Nihad Kabir, president of the MCCI, was present.
With this new office, the MCCI will now be positioned in the close vicinity of its member firms, the century-old trade organisation said in a statement.
The chamber’s members from Gulshan, Banani, Baridhara and its surrounding areas will now be able to reach out easily and contact the MCCI instead of going to its head office in Motijheel.
However, the platform will continue to carry out its secretarial functions and select events in its Motijheel office due to its close proximity to Bangladesh Secretariat, Bangladesh Bank, the National Board of Revenue and other ministries and important public offices.
“By having two offices in two different parts of the city, the MCCI will be able to render services to its members more effectively and also maintain close liaison with the relevant business and government agencies timely.”
An “M Anis Ud Dowla Conference Hall” and “Latifur Rahman Lounge” have been set up at the new office in recognition of the exemplary contributions of the MCCI’s two former presidents in the office’s procurement and fit-out.
In operation since 1904, the chamber had its office in Motijheel for the past five decades. Prior to that, it was located in Narayanganj.
