German firms to keep supporting Bangladesh’s growth: envoy

German companies operating in Bangladesh would continue to contribute to the impressive growth trajectory of the country, said Achim Tröster, the newly-appointed ambassador of Germany.

He made the comment when the board of the German Business Council, an association representing German companies working in Bangladesh, led by its Chairman Sazzadul Hassan, paid a courtesy call on the envoy at his residence in Dhaka yesterday.

Tröster expressed his satisfaction to see the long-term commitment of the GBC members.

"Germany, being Bangladesh's largest trading partner in Europe and the second-largest globally, would continue to be partnering in the growth journey of the country," he said in a press release.
