Tipu urged Germany to allow the access of more Bangladeshi products to its market.
He said since environment-friendly green factories have been set up and other necessary compliances are followed here, the production cost of goods went high in Bangladesh.
The minister expects Germany to extend cooperation in giving fair prices of readymade garments from Bangladesh.
He called on German entrepreneurs to invest in 100 economic zones and 33 hi-tech parks of Bangladesh.
