AMBASSADOR'S GREETING

Welcome Message from Einar Hebogaard Jensen, Ambassador of Denmark

Hello, I am Einar H. Jensen, the Danish Ambassador to Bangladesh. Welcome to our website.

The website is our face to the outside world. Therefore, we put great emphasis on keeping the website updated and full of news stories on and about the importance of the Danish-Bangladeshi cooperation.

I am delighted to be here, and it is a great honour and privilege for me to represent Denmark in Bangladesh. My main role here is to represent my country’s interests and values.

Denmark is a friend of Bangladesh. We believe in the potential of this country and its people. Our engagement in Bangladesh reflects this throughout the work of the Embassy of Denmark. Our business and development programmes are all aimed at supporting a successful partnership between Denmark and Bangladesh.

The Danish-Bangladeshi cooperation has been developing significantly over the years, and the development assistance is still the backbone of the cooperation. The country strategy for the development cooperation for the period 2005-2009 forms the framework for our bilateral cooperation. We also experience an encouraging development in the trade relationships between companies from our two countries, in particular within the two emerging sectors shipbuilding and information technology.

The Danish assistance to Bangladesh has brought many concrete results within governance, public administration, agriculture, water and sanitation, and business cooperation. Additionally, it has contributed directly to the significant poverty reduction and economic growth that Bangladesh has achieved within the past 10-15 years.

The Danish assistance also contributes to the development of the private companies who are an important force in enhancing Bangladesh’s economic growth and for creation of more new jobs every year. This is happening through direct cooperation between Danish companies as well as Bangladeshi companies under the so-called B2B programme and in the form of mixed credits.

As something new, the climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction have become topics on the agenda for the Danish-Bangladeshi development cooperation.

In the past few years, we have experienced an increasing interest for the Bangladeshi market and more than 50 Danish companies are represented in Bangladesh today. We regard it as one of our most privileged assignments to assist the Danish companies.

The cultural exchange between Danish and Bangladeshi artists also forms an important element of our bilateral relations.

On this website, you can find more detailed information on the many aspects of cooperation between Denmark and Bangladesh as well as the relevant contact persons at the Embassy. You are most welcome to contact the Embassy with questions or comments on our activities in the country.

Finally, let me finish by saying I feel proud to be the Ambassador here in Bangladesh, and I and my staff are delighted and committed to the task of building even closer ties between our two people and nations.
