Desk report, Jan 21: The Bangladesh interim government foreign affairs adviser, Md Touhid Hossain, had a bilateral meeting with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in Beijing on Tuesday and discussed a wide range of issues and ways to strengthen Dhaka’s economic partnership with Beijing.
The meeting was held at a time when Bangladesh and China are preparing to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their diplomatic relations in 2025.
Adviser Hossain is paying the visit at the invitation of the Chinese foreign minister in what is described as a ‘very important first bilateral visit’ after the formation of the interim government led by Nobel Laureate Professor Yunus in August of the past year.
