Leading the BIAC delegation was Mr. K.A.M. Majedur Rahman, Chief Executive Officer of BIAC.
The discussion focused on enhancing collaboration between the two arbitration institutions, with a particular emphasis on expanding mutual support in arbitration and mediation services. Both parties expressed commitment to fostering stronger bilateral cooperation to promote the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms in Asia.
Special attention was given to sharing expertise on business development, intellectual property dispute resolution, and case management to improve ADR accessibility and efficiency for parties engaged in cross-border disputes. The meeting further underscored the mutual interest in promoting capacity building and joint training programs to elevate ADR standards regionally.
This strategic engagement aligns with BIAC’s ongoing efforts to build international partnerships and integrate best practices to serve the growing demand for effective and reliable dispute resolution in Bangladesh and the broader Asian region.
