Chinese Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Sun Weidong on Tuesday said that China is looking forward to working with the new government of Bangladesh, reports UNB.
Weidong shared this message during a meeting with a high-level BNP delegation, led by its Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, at China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said BNP Media Cell Member Shairul Kabir Khan.
"China hopes for a free and fair election in Bangladesh. We are eagerly waiting to work with the new government", Shairul said, quoting Weidong.
He also mentioned that the Chinese vice minister promised that China will continue to support Bangladesh in areas such as agriculture, industry, garments, health and infrastructure development.
Shairul said the meeting was held on the second day of the BNP delegation's visit.
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir sought China's help in improving technology and efficiency, and for steps to reduce trade imbalances during the meeting, he said.
On Sunday night, a nine-member BNP delegation, led by Mirza Fakhrul, left Dhaka for China for a five-day visit at the invitation of the Communist Party of China (CPC).
This visit is seen as a sign of stronger political ties between the BNP and the CPC, with both parties looking forward to more cooperation in the future.
