🇧🇩 Bangladesh Meeting Culture

Bangladeshi business meetings are formal, hierarchical, and relationship-oriented, with respect for seniority and courtesy in communication.

  • Schedule meetings in advance and prepare detailed materials. Identify senior decision-makers beforehand.
  • Punctuality is appreciated though meetings may start late. Greetings are polite handshakes using the right hand.
  • Communication tends to be indirect; senior figures guide discussions and decisions.
  • Follow up in writing and maintain regular contact to progress decisions.
