Danish Minister for Trade and Development Cooperation Mogens Jensen arrives in Dhaka today on a three-day visit to promote development cooperation with government officials and political leaders.
This is his first visit to Bangladesh after he assumed his current role. He will be accompanied by the permanent secretary of the Danish Ministry of Employment, and senior officials from the Danish Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
Jensen will attend the 'Bangladesh -- Framing the Future' conference on the garment sector, which is being hosted by the Danish and Bangladesh governments at the Westin hotel in Dhaka on March 19.
The conference will focus on the lessons learnt in the last two years of multi-stakeholder cooperation in the garment sector and how these can be applied to other export sectors, and help make the apparel industry greener.
Jensen will call upon Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Finance Minister AMA Muhith, Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed, Foreign Minister Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali and State Minister for Labour and Employment Mujibul Haque during the visit.
The Danish minister will also meet senior leaders from other major political parties, civil society leaders, key-actors in the garments industry, Danish companies and beneficiaries of Danish development assistance around the country.
The Danish delegation will also visit DANIDA-supported development projects in agriculture and climate vulnerable areas of Barisal.
