Pia Olsen Dyhr

Danish Minister for Trade and Investment Pia Olsen Dyhr is due in Dhaka today for a two-day visit with a business delegation of Denmark's 12 leading companies from clean-tech, energy and water and life science sectors.
Dyhr, the first Danish trade minister to visit Bangladesh, will be accompanied by three Danish parliament members, the foreign secretary and officials from the foreign ministry.
She is expected to meet Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and a number of ministers, businesspeople and civil society leaders to enhance bilateral trade.
Trade between Bangladesh and Denmark has grown more than 200 percent in the last three years, and is set to grow even more in the years to come, the Danish embassy said in a statement.
