ASIAN-PACIFIC TOUR CONTINUES

HISTORICAL MOMENT AS BANGLADESH RECEIVES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY THE CHANCELLOR OF GERMANY

It had come to many as a surprise that the small nation of Somerania become the center of attention after Korea.

And yet, her arrival was to begin trust with a strategic player in Asia. Projects of economic ties were also on the table as well as foreign policy coordination and understandings.

Korea and Bangladesh were two worlds. But the country still had something attractive and fascinating for the Chancellor.

It was unclear how the local Government and people of Bangladesh would receive a European leader in times where European nations have been seen as rather unpopular at times.

Gaining the trust of this country was vital. Other wishes of Scheffner were company ethics. Recently, addidas, puma and others had moved their factories to this country. The german press had suspected cheap labour including child labour.

Finally, the entire security of the SEA region was vital for German investments and trade and in a way, to keep other countries away from exploiting weaknesses in a region.

The plane landed slightly after midday with the colors of Germany being witnessed for the first time by many.
