Germany is ready to assist Bangladesh in the solar-energy sector by providing its high technology for developing and tapping the renewable energy, outgoing German Ambassador Frank Meyke said Wednesday, reports UNB.
"We're ready to help in the solar-energy sector providing Germany's hi-technology," Frank Meyke said when he paid a courtesy call on President Zillur Rahman at Bangabhaban.
The envoy also apprised the President that a 20-member trade delegation from Germany would visit Bangladesh in October for exploring new trade and investment avenues.
During the meeting, the President said the German government could provide technical support for improving Bangladesh's renewable-energy sector, especially solar power, in the wake of growing electricity demand in the country.
Zillur Rahman urged the German entrepreneurs to import more world-standard Bangladeshi shipping, pharmaceutical, ceramic and jute products considering their very cheap prices.
