IBCCI elects new office bearers
The India-Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industries (IBCCI) has launched its new executive committee, retaining only one Bangladeshi and five Indian members from the outgoing panel. Moshiur Rahman, owner of Rahman Shipping Lines, assumed the presidency of the chamber, overseeing business relations between the two neighbouring countries.
He will be joined by Meherun Nessa Islam of Conference and Exhibition Management Services (CEMS) Limited as vice-president, and Amit Kumar Tiwari of Torrecid Bangladesh Limited as a director.
IBCCI held its biennial election on November 27, with candidates running unopposed for the 2025-2027 period. The election schedule was announced on September 11. Moshiur succeeds Abdul Matlub Ahmed of Nitol Motors, a former President of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industries (FBCCI).
Moshiur had previously served as a director on the 2019 committee. Meherun Nessa and Maulana Eyaqub Sharafi, newly elected directors, had also held director positions on the prior committee.
Mohammad Ali Deen, director of Runner Group and general secretary of the Bangladesh Automobile Assemblers and Manufacturers Association, and five others from the outgoing panel continue in the new term. Following tradition, the 24-member executive committee consists of 12 Bangladeshi and 12 Indian representatives, with Mohammad Ali as the only Bangladeshi member.
Leaders of the chamber said all current Bangladeshi business members had served in the two previous committees, which made them ineligible for consecutive re-election under the new rules introduced by the caretaker government, according to newly elected Director Eyaqub Sharafi.
