German entrepreneurs look for more long-term joint venture business in Bangladesh ensuring a win-win situation for both sides, visiting German business delegation leader Dr Karl Ernst Brauner said here on Tuesday.
"We've been here for a long-term trade relationship. We want to deepen our relationship," he told a luncheon meeting at a city hotel in the city yesterday. He, however, wants Bangladesh to overcome the shortcomings in its physical infrastructure. Federation of Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) hosted the meeting chaired by its president AK Azad. German Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce Industry president Saiful Islam, FBCCI senior vice president M Jashim Uddin and FBCCI directors, including delegation members and Country Manager of DHL Global Forwarding M Nooruddin Chowdhury, were present.
Addressing the function, Brauner, also Director of the Department of Foreign Trade Policy, Germany said, "This visit is not an ending point, it's rather a beginning of the long process of further cooperation…the visit is not a coincidence."
