The first of such conferences on Wednesday is aimed at deepening the “critical understanding of economic coalition” among the three neighbours, the AIDIA says.
Thinkers, political leaders, academics, diplomats and business leaders will discuss all aspects of trilateral cooperation.
The discussions will focus particularly on two themes – ‘rail, road and transit: exploring opportunities for trilateral connectivity’ and ‘roadmap for trilateral economic development: partnership in energy and tourism sectors’.
AIDIA founder and CEO Sunil KC said the conference would also put forward recommendations for strengthening the tri-lateral cooperation further.
Bangladesh ambassador in Nepal Mashfee Binte Shams will represent Dhaka at the conference.
