Had a great time celebrating #Eid2025 - with the Hon. President, Hon. CA, DGFI, Air Force and NSI. Would not have been possible without my dear colleague Hasan, who instead of celebrating with his family, drove us around from early morning to late evening. Many thanks to him!

#StudentVisa for #Germany: Detailed information on the introduction of a new and digitalized application system for student visa will be published soon.

Could'nt agree more!

Subho Noboborsho!

Bettina and me celebrated a great Bengali New Year yesterday. Thanks to our dear hosts for lots of colourful and delicious moments! #pohelaboishakh2025

#StudentVisa for #Germany: As of today, the old waiting list is closed. The Embassy will continue to process the old list in chronological order. The Consular Service Portal is now open for new applications. They will be processed when the old list is finished. More information:

Did you know ambassadors are not only dealing with student visa? Had a thoughtful exchange with #NCP leaders together with European colleagues yesterday. #Germany supports democratic reforms, accountability, equal rights and rule of law, inter alia.

A perfect outfit is key for success in international business. My dear colleagues from Berlin, Dr. Berner and Ms. Wilkens, were brillantly heeding this principle during their first stay in #Bangladesh as part of a #German business delegation. Bettina served as fashion consultant

Happy Easter to everybody! Frohe Ostern!

Signed the first financial agreement under the 🇧🇩🇩🇪 Climate + Development Partnership worth € 52.5 mn approx. BDT 724 cr. #Germany will support 🇧🇩 local government institutions strengthen adaptive capacity + reduce exposure of the vulnerable population to climate change effects.

The #Goethe Institut in #Dhaka celebrated the return to its recently renovated premises in Dhanmondi, House 10. Congratulations - that's a perfect modern place for cultural exchange, thoughtful discussions or just having fun! Pass by and get impressed! Goethe-Institut Bangladesh

#Germany and the #EU support Access to Justice for All in #Bangladesh. Mobile legal aid vans started their tours today - they will serve mainly women and vulnerable groups in less privileged as well as rural areas. #GiZ is implementing the project.

Today is World Press Freedom Day. There is no real democracy without press freedom.

Human rights apply to everybody. We all enjoy equal rights - nobody may be discriminated because of his sexual orientation, inter alia.

#Germany remains strongly committed to supporting Bangladesh's journey toward a #lowemission future. Through the Green Cooling Initiative III, the #GermanDevelopmentCooperation has partnered with #Bangladesh to advance energy-efficient and climate-friendly cooling.

Eid Mubarak to everybody! May it bring peace and love to you and your families.

Congratulations! Had the pleasure to hand over the certificates to those brillant 🇧🇩 students who succeeded in obtaining a 2 year #DAAD fellowship for studies in #Germany. Wish them lots of success and many good impressions for their stay in my home country.

Bitter-sweet smiles: The last reception in the #German residence given by Bettina and me is over. We had wonderful four years in Dhaka. We will be missing Bangladesh and our friends.

Our last day in Bangladesh. We're pedalling home after four wonderful years. Bangladesh will stay forever in our hearts!

My family and I just arrived in 🇧🇩! We are so excited to get to know our new home. I submitted my credentials as 🇩🇪 Amb. I see so many areas where we can work even more closely together. Politics. Business. Cooperation. Culture- building on the great work of my predecessor.
