November – Club night with H.E. Peter Dettmar

At the November Club Evening, we had the honour of welcoming the Ambassador of the Republic of Germany to Belarus, Peter Dettmar, as our guest of honour. Thus, Mr. Dettmar continued the long-standing and much appreciated tradition of annual visits of the German Ambassador to the BNEC Club Evenings. He gave a brief but informative overview of the current state of relations between our countries and shared his forecast of expected changes in the political, economic and cultural spheres of cooperation.

Mr. Dettmar talked about the Embassy's planned activities, especially the planned and ongoing cultural events and exhibitions, which we also recommend:

- Exhibition at the National Museum of Art "Ernst Barlach - Kate Kolwitz: On the limits of the existential"

- International exhibition "Francis Scarina and His Age" with a presentation of a copy of the Gutenberg Bible from Germany at the National Library

- Exhibition "Death Camp Maly Trostenets. History and Memory".

This evening, which was already special thanks to our guest of honour, was attended by especially many guests from Germany, which makes us very happy. A delegation from the Chamber of Crafts from Frankfurt/Oder headed by Managing Director Uwe Hoppe, numerous representatives of German companies as well as a member of the Saxon Parliament (CDU) Jan Löffler and his colleague were with us. As always, we hope that the ambassador's speech as well as the final informal networking during the buffet promoted a productive exchange of ideas and opinions for the participants of the evening and that we will be able to welcome some visitors from Germany to our events more often.
