Bangladesh and Canada are experiencing growing trade relations. Bangladesh is an emerging economy with strong annual GDP growth and is the world’s second-largest exporter of apparel. Canada and Bangladesh enjoy over $2 billion in bilateral trade annually. The possibilities for expanding Bangladesh’s economic links with Canada depend on low-cost, reliable parcel delivery and freight between the two countries.
