BIMSTEC Business Conclave supported by Ministry of External Affairs and is being organized by Indian Chamber of Commerce during 13th – 15th June in Kolkata. This is to commemorate 25 years of BIMSTEC.

With the renewed importance of BIMSTEC after signing of the charter in Colombo, BIMSTEC has been recognized as an international organization. We at ICC feel that this is the right time to collaborate and prepare for 'Quantum Leap in Business Co-operation' among Member Countries to ensure shared prosperity, growth, employment and equal opportunities for all the stakeholders.

BIMSTEC Education Forum:

As a part of 'BIMSTEC Business Conclave', we are organizing the 'BIMSTEC Education Forum' on 14th June 2023, Wednesday. The BIMSTEC initiative was conceived as a regional alliance to "provide a fertile ground for cooperation" and be "a source of sharing and learning among members of the group, for which educational cooperation remains the essential condition ("sine qua non"). Education is not only the bridge of co-operation between the seven BIMSTEC members rather it is also the basis for soft power for this alliance. Since 1947, India became the globe's second-largest provider of higher education and has continued to attract students from the BIMSTEC nations. The highest number of students comes from Nepal followed by Bangladesh and Bhutan. Encouraging educational cooperation within the BIMSTEC region could play a transformative role in enhancing person-to-person contact, as well as knitting closer and more constructive regional links. Educational links would contribute to sustainable development within the region and also help in cultural reconnection.
