“For us it’s a political project,” the envoy said, while inaugurating the building in Baridhara together with his French counterpart Sophie Aubert on Sunday. The joint embassy building symbolises that “arch enemies can be good friends,” Prinz said. The exterior design of the building resembled the structure of a DNA, symbolising close ties between France and Germany. French Ambassador Aubert on Sunday said they wanted to inaugurate the joint embassy before the French National Day is celebrated on Jul 14. Germany is for Bangladesh the largest single-country trading destination in the EU, where all its products enjoy duty-free market access.
