Germany is interested to invest more in Bangladesh aimed at boosting economic ties between the two countries.
The German envoy conveyed this message when he met Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen at his ministry in the city on Thursday.
Foreign Minister Dr Momen thanked Germany for extending full support for the Rohingya crisis, and sought further intensified efforts from the international community so that the Rohingyas could go back to their ancestral homeland in safety and dignity.
Fahrenholtz expressed deep appreciation for the 'very successful' engagements and cooperation between the two countries in the area of migration -- a top priority for the Chancellor Merkel's government, reports UNB.
The German ambassador congratulated Dr Momen on his assuming the responsibility and expressed firm commitment to move forward with bilateral and multilateral engagements on issues of mutual interests.
He emphasised 'stability, growth and increased welfare for the common people' under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, according to the Foreign Ministry here.
He also expressed interests in deepening bilateral relations on issues like trade and investment, Rohingya crisis, migration, SMEs and skills development, climate change, and beyond.
Terming Germany a 'natural friend', Dr Momen expressed deep appreciation and gratitude for long-standing and comprehensive support from Germany in the socio-economic development of Bangladesh since its independence.
He thanked the Ambassador for agreeing to make shift in the thematic focus of future bilateral development cooperation, by incorporating 'SMEs and skills/vocational training' as the new thematic focus.
