My wife and I visited Shishu Neer, a school for underprivileged children. For my birthday, I asked friends to donate money - instead of gifts -and yesterday we handed the support to the school. As a parent of two, I believe every child deserves good education & a hopeful future!

The first time I heard of Prof. Yunus was while studying his work and writings at the Harvard Kennedy School many years ago. It‘s fantastic to meet the man in person now. What an impressive lifetime achievement!

First field visit outside Dhaka with our development cooperation team: tried local Bangla food and loved the flavors, especially the vegetarian options! What local dish should I try next?

My family and I just arrived in 🇧🇩! We are so excited to get to know our new home. I submitted my credentials as 🇩🇪 Amb. I see so many areas where we can work even more closely together. Politics. Business. Cooperation. Culture- building on the great work of my predecessor.
