In June 2017, the Bhutan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) and the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) renewed their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on working together for the enhancement of mountain livelihoods and development enterprise, extending their mutual agreement for five more years.

BCCI and ICIMOD firmly believe that private sector initiatives plays a crucial role in developing sustainable and improved livelihoods through knowledge and regional cooperation.
