#BVBPSG #UCL

#German and #Bangladeshi companies strive together for a secure #SmartBangladesh ! New 🇧🇩🇩🇪 joint venture #ReliefValidationLimited offers innovative #eSignature that enables certified identification and data security. Thanks for a fascinating introduction to a dynamic 🇧🇩🇩🇪 team!

Thank you Jennifer Morgan for coordinating and facilitating rich deliberations during #Petersberg2024 . Look forward to growing 🇧🇩 🇩🇪 climate partnership leading up to COP29 AZ and beyond.

Wish the Honorable Minister a pleasant stay in Berlin and fruitful exchanges!

Big cakes require professional cutters. Therefore only natural that #BGCCI invited me as the chief cutter on their 25th anniversary. Heartfelt congratulations and best of luck! #BGCCI has been a main pillar in fostering trade and business between #Bangladesh and #Germany .

Good initiative by the 🇧🇩 government and you 🇪🇺!

#German y supports companies in #Bangladesh that intend to purchase goods from 🇩🇪. First seminar on export financing in the Embassy met with broad interest among 🇧🇩 business people and informed on #German instruments to promote trade and investments between 🇧🇩 and 🇩🇪.

Great news for someone from Dortmund like me: #BorussiaDortmund made it to the semi-finals of the #ChampionsLeague ! Fanatic support from #Bangladesh obviously was decisive. 😇 I'm so proud to see them in the traditional wear of my hometown. 👍

Shuvo Noboborsho!
Happy Bengali New Year 1431!

What a wonderful surprise: Our dear chef Mr. Abu just came by on his holiday and brought some delicious food! He is always fearing Bettina and me would suddenly die from starvation when he is not around to take care of us...😇

Hard working day 2 - extreme challenges require heroic efforts: Next two #Eid2024 celebrations today at DGFI and NSI. Once again great hospitality, delicious food and lots of fun! Fortunately my panjabi had some space left for abdominal expansion...😎

Typical hard working day for a diplomat in #Dhaka : Starting with the Eid reception by the Hon. President, then Eid reception given by the Hon. Prime Minister. Having fun with the boys! 😇

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating!

First Iftar in the residence since our arrival in 🇧🇩. Thanks to our wonderful guests for honouring us with their presence and celebrating iftar together with us! Hope that typical German food was not missed by all of them... 😉

Very fruitful meeting with Hon. State Minister f. Commerce, Ahasanul Islam Titu, MP. Discussed various areas with great potential for the 🇧🇩 🇩🇪 commerce, like the pharmaceutical or the leather sector, as well as some remaining challenges. Thanks for the very cooperative spirit!

Happy Easter to everyone!

Visited the construction site of the Goethe-Institut in #Dhaka . Same place as before but with a largely restructured building. Appears like a miracle, but in six months the first events will be staged there in a modern and welcoming new setting! Goethe-Institut Bangladesh

Another great #Iftar yesterday evening. Good talks with our kind hosts from BNP and dear collegues from other missions. Haleem was as fantastic as always!

Fruitful conversation with H.E. Md. Faruk Khan, Minister f. Civil Aviation + Tourism, on the excellent prospects of an enhanced cooperation between the aviation sectors of #Bangladesh and #🇩🇪. German companies can valuably contribute to realizing Bangladesh's ambitious plans.
