UNB, Yunnan (China) :
Bangladesh has said the ‘strategic partnership of cooperation’ with China is not only business or friendly relations but it also carries a much deeper sense having a significant impact on Bangladesh’s socioeconomic development through multidimensional engagements.
“The partnership is now much deeper that has been established for mutual development and welfare,” Bangladesh Consul General in Kunming Dr Md Tauhedul Islam told UNB in an interview.
He said Chinese investment has already started pouring into Bangladesh since the historic visit of its President Xi Jinping’s visit to Bangladesh on October 14-15, 2016. “More Chinese investment will go to Bangladesh.”
The visit witnessed the signing of 27 agreements with a prospect of over US$ 30 billion investment in various fields of Bangladesh.
“China is such a country which believes in practicality,” Tauhedul said indicating that China executes whatever decision it takes.
He said there are examples that signed agreements remain unimplemented but China is an exception in that sense.
Terming the relations between Bangladesh and China a “multidimensional” one, the diplomat said China’s cooperation continues in the areas of infrastructure, social and industrial development, education and health sectors.
