Due to their residence in the US, thousands of business owners from 48 Asian countries are making significant contributions to the US economy. However, due to a lack of community leadership, they are not fully benefiting from the opportunities and legal assistance offered by the US government. Speakers believe that by uniting under the banner of the American Chamber of Commerce, it's possible to fully utilize these benefits. In a business conference held at the Jackson Heights Juice Center in New York, under the leadership of Joy Choudhury, the president of the Asian American Chamber of Commerce, leaders expressed these hopes. Businesspeople from 48 Asian countries, including China and Bangladesh, contribute 40% to the US GDP. Small and medium-sized businesses from Asia control 62% of the total business. However, due to some legal restrictions, these entrepreneurs cannot fully utilize all the facilities provided by the US government. Thus, there's a call to strengthen the Asian-American Chamber. Not just the chamber leaders, but other chamber heads, New York State commissioners, city commissioners, and representatives from various government agencies attended the conference. They assured comprehensive support for business expansion from the government's side.

Organizing such an event that unites business owners from 48 Asian countries in New York was a first. The Asian Chamber of Commerce honored business leaders from 10 Asian countries, including Bangladesh, for their contributions to the US economic development. At the business conference, speeches were given by: New York State Assemblyman Steven Raga, New York City Small Business Executive Director Michael Fog, New York State Port Authority Director Mr. Hars, Indonesian Leader Attorney Eve Cho Guileragon, New York Queens Community Board Member Abdur Rahim Howlader, Mohammad Ali, Jamaica Friends Society Secretary Jay Molla Sani, CPA Mohammad Chishti, New York Bangladesh Press Club Organizing Secretary SM Solayman, and several Asian American business leaders.
