[🇧🇩] Germany---A bosom Friend of Bangladesh

[Bilal9]

It seems that all the countries are Bosom friends of BD except India now a days.

India has a problematic foreign policy and has had it since Modi was elected.

Most of India's neighbors are not India's friends, and neither is China, a super power.

You can be all sarcastic as you want - but these are facts and did not need to be this way.

 

[Bilal9]

All news are related to Germany Helping BD. 1 BN Euro in 10 years. 15 Mn this year. I cannot stop laughing.

Germany considers Bangladesh a civilized country. Hence the cooperation and investment to improve the human and technical resources.

Most of the money will go back to Germany to pay German consultants and technical help.

Which is fine.

It seems you have little clue about these things.

That is ok but the problem with our neighbours is that when they face problems, none of their bosom friends come to their rescue. They turn to us for help. SL did the same, Maldives did the same after showing a lots of hostility. BD just asked for 50000 rice, BD has not paid about 1 BN debt of Adani, BD imports just 40 MW power from Nepal using Indian grid. Bangladeshi people come to India for medical treatment. They should get this everything from their bosom friends.

That's great but why all this all of sudden. Wasn't BD considered a civilized country by Germany till now?

German-based Sonnex Energie GmbH will establish a 500MW Solar PV module manufacturing hub in Bangladesh.

This announcement came from a formal launching of Sonnex Energie (Bangladesh) Ltd, which emerged as a strategic joint venture between Sonnex Energie GmbH and Solar EPC Development Ltd at a function in a city hotel on Tuesday.

Sonnex Energie is renowned for its high-efficiency solar modules and PV inverters and Solar EPC Development Ltd is a market player in turnkey solar solutions in Bangladesh.

The officials of the company said that the ceremonial launch signified far more than a corporate alliance—it represents a shared vision to lead South Asia’s transition toward a green and self-reliant energy future.

This venture’s operational roadmap includes the establishment of a 500 MW Solar panel manufacturing plant, reducing dependence on imports while ensuring competitive pricing and superior quality, they said.

They noted that plans are underway to develop automated assembly plants, advanced testing laboratories, and solar-specific technical training centers—ensuring meaningful technology transfer and a skilled workforce to support a rapidly evolving green economy.

The venture would establish local logistics hubs and warehousing infrastructure to strengthen supply chain resilience. It would offer larger scaling of after-sales and O&M networks enabling long-term system performance and client satisfaction.

In the 1st phase of our joint venture we will focus on comprehensive market development for Sonnex Energie in Bangladesh, ensuring deployment for the Commercial & Industrial (C&I) sector as well as utility-scale solar projects.

In the 2nd Phase it aims to establish a manufacturing capacity of 500 MW annually by 2028, scaling up to gigawatt (GW)-level production by 2035.

The event was chaired by Eric, Managing Director of Sonnex EnergieGmbH and addressed by Ni Xiaopeng Liam, Managing Director of Huawei; Mr. ean Lee, Director of Yunnan Commercial Representative of China; Mr. Troy, Director of Power China Bangladesh; Mr. Bernard Shao, Regional Director of Sungrow; Monowar Islam, Advisor of AKH Group, Secretary of Power Division (Former) and Chairman of BERC (Former) Sadia Raisha Khan, Advisor and Country Representative of GIZ.

Alauddin, Rector of Bangladesh Power Management Institute (BPMI); Dipal Borua, Ex-President BSREA; Neyamul Hasan, Managing Director of Intertek Bangladesh and Ezaz Al Qudrat A Mazid, Director of Solar EPC Development Ltd, were present on the occasion.​
