A total of nine countries, including Bangladesh, Bahrain, Ghana, Kyrgyzstan, Tunisia, Turkey, Sri Lanka and the United Arab Emirates, are participating in the event.

The first five days of the event are reserved exclusively for business and from November 19-27 it will be open to the general public.
