Danish Ambassador to Bangladesh Christian Brix Møller expressed condolences for the victims of the July-August mass uprising and proceeded to offer Danish support to the survivors, particularly rehabilitation of victims of torture as well as support to several key areas of the interim government´s reform agenda.

The Ambassador paid a courtesy call to Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on Sunday, as per UNB reports.

Denmark is committed to enabling good governance and strengthening the capacity of state and non-state actors, and has also decided in view of the recent development in Bangladesh, to immediately allocate 1 million USD in support to the Centre for Policy Dialogue’s (CPD) work on strengthening good economic governance in Bangladesh and escaping the middle-income trap.

In addition, the Danish Ambassador reiterated Denmark´s interest in enhancing trade and investment with Bangladesh and building stronger economic diplomacy links between the two nations.

The Ambassador voiced continued Danish commitment to the country’s stake in fertiliser production on a public-private partnership basis in Karnaphuli Fertilizer Company Limited (KAFCO) while also exploring new collaboration opportunities.
