DHAKA, April 6, 2025 (BSS) - A German delegation consisting of different business stakeholders has arrived in Dhaka for a five-day visit from April 6 to 10, 2025.
 
The delegation included representatives from the German Federal Foreign Office, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, Germany Trade and Invest (GTAI), the German Export Credit Agency (Euler Hermes), GIZ and company representatives, a press release issued by the German embassy in Dhaka said today. 
 
The mission is coordinated by OAV – the German Asia-Pacific Business Association, a key network that promotes German business interests across Asia and serves as a strategic partner for German companies seeking to enter or expand in the region.

German Ambassador to Bangladesh Achim Tröster welcomed the first such mission from Germany since the Interim Government took office. 

“We appreciate the initiative by OAV to bring a delegation to Bangladesh at the exact right time, to witness first-hand the potential and opportunities that Bangladesh offers as well as the reform progress made,” he said marking the occasion.  

The delegation kicked off their visit with a briefing organised by the German Embassy in Dhaka while they will take part in the Bangladesh Investment Summit 2025, organised by the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) in partnership with the Chief Advisor’s Office, to be held from tomorrow. 
 
Germany remains one of Bangladesh’s most significant economic partners, with total bilateral trade amounting to USD 9.81 billion in 2024, said the German embassy.
  
“This visit underscores Germany’s strong belief in Bangladesh’s economic potential and its commitment to expand bilateral trade to mutual benefit,” read the release.
