EU envoy calls for policy stability to strengthen Bangladesh-EU ties

EU Ambassador to Bangladesh Michael Miller has emphasised the need for a level playing field for EU operators and consistent policy stability in the coming period to enhance bilateral relations between Bangladesh and the European Union.

He also called for the completion of reforms launched by the interim government.

In a recent keynote address titled 'The EU Means Business in Bangladesh', Ambassador Miller highlighted the EU's role as Bangladesh's steadfast and reliable partner. 

He underscored the strength of the EU's commercial relationship with the country and recalled its support for democratic renewal.

The European Union Chamber of Commerce in Bangladesh (EuroCham Bangladesh), the official Chamber of the European Union in Bangladesh and part of the European Business Organisation (EBO) Worldwide Network, hosted the EuroCham Business Evening 2026 at the United Convention Centre, Dhaka.

The event brought together EuroCham members, the EU Delegation, Member State ambassadors and trade representatives, businesses, partners, and Government of Bangladesh officials to advance dialogue and cooperation for European businesses.

The event, themed 'Delivering for European Businesses', featured EuroCham's first Annual General Meeting, the inaugural Advisory Council Meeting and a Networking Cocktail.

The event included Ambassadors from Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, and France, and representatives from above countries as well as Netherlands and Italy, said a media release issued today.

EuroCham Chairperson Nuria Lopez, in her remarks, underscored EuroCham's advocacy role in Brussels for Bangladesh, including on GSP+ and a possible FTA in the future.

She also highlighted EuroCham's role in advocating for the interests of EU investors in Bangladesh and supporting a more transparent, business-friendly ecosystem—one that enables more European investors to consider Bangladesh's potential as a manufacturing investment hub.
