Mr. Xiaoliang introduced CIECC which works under the Chinese Ministry of Commerce on two areas: e-Governance and e-Commerce. CIECC has extensive international cooperation and exchange activities.

Mr. Khasru mentioned that e-Commerce and e-Governance are important areas for Bangladesh. In addition, e-Commerce facilitates regional integration. Given the knowledge, capabilities, and mandate for international cooperation of CIECC, it will be useful to initiate knowledge sharing and cooperation between CIECC and IPAG for development of e-Governance and e-Commerce in China, Bangladesh and the Asia-Pacific at large.
