Beijing with Dhaka on all fronts, looks for stronger partnership

Chinese ambassador to Bangladesh Li Jiming on Monday said the Chinese side will work hand in hand with the government of Bangladesh and all sectors of Bangladeshi society to contain the situation overcoming the temporary difficulties, reports UNB.

He expressed the hope that they together will emerge from the crisis with even stronger partnership.

"Through solidarity and mutual support, China and Bangladesh will prevail over this outbreak, and together we shall embrace a brighter future for mankind," ambassador Jiming said in an open letter to the people of Bangladesh.

This year marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Bangladesh and China and over the years, the two countries have respected, understood and supported each other, he said.

Ambassador Jiming said pragmatic cooperation in all fields has been greatly expanded, which benefits not only the peoples of the two countries but also the development of the entire region.

"It should be clearly and rationally understood that the impact of the epidemic on China and Bangladesh's economies is temporary and controllable," he said.
