Britain’s Trade Envoy to Bangladesh, Rt Hon Baroness Winterton, visited Dhaka on 6 April 2026 to reinforce the UK‑Bangladesh trade partnership. Her third trip to the country follows the formation of Bangladesh’s new elected government in February and signals the UK’s commitment to deepening cooperation in trade, economic development, higher education, aviation and defence. During the visit, the envoy met senior ministers, military officials and business leaders, discussing shared priorities and exploring opportunities to increase bilateral trade and investment. She also visited Bangladeshi exporters that use the UK’s Developing Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS), which offers duty‑free market access and simplified rules of origin to support diversified exports and job creation. The UK remains one of Bangladesh’s largest export markets and a key development partner.
