SINGAPORE: Dr Dirk Lorenz-Meyer has been appointed as Singapore’s Honorary Consul in Hamburg, Germany.
In a statement on Wednesday (Apr 8), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said that so far, Singapore has been represented in Germany by its Ambassador in Berlin as well as the Honorary Consul-General in Stuttgart.
“This appointment, which is taking place in the year in which Singapore and Germany are celebrating 50 years of diplomatic relations, will therefore further strengthen Singapore’s representation in Germany,” it added.
Dr Lorenz-Meyer, 43, is a Director and Board Member of Behn Meyer Holding AG, a specialty supplier for a variety of life sciences industries across Southeast Asia, said MFA.
“He was based in Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia, working for various subsidiaries of the Behn Meyer Group for close to 10 years after earning a doctorate in International Management at the Friedrich-Schiller-University in Jena,”, it noted.
As the Honorary Consul, Dr Lorenz-Meyer will carry out notarial functions and extend consular assistance to Singaporeans, as well as perform other representational duties.
