China pledged in Beijing Tuesday to further promote
China-Bangladesh ties.
Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing made the remark in his
talks with the visiting Bangladeshi Minister of Foreign Affairs M.
Morshed Khan.
Li told his Bangladeshi counterpart that China appreciates the
valuable support offered by Bangladesh on issues such as Taiwan,
human right and Tibet, expressing the willingness to make concerted
efforts with Bangladesh to achieve "new progress" on the bilateral
relations.
"The bilateral relations have become increasingly mature since
the two countries forged diplomatic relations 31 years ago and has
now entered into a new stage with the establishment of the
bilateral all-round cooperative partnership during the mutual
visits of the two state heads last year," Li said,
Khan said that Bangladesh attaches great importance to the
relations with China and regards China as a reliable friend and
partner.
Bangladesh and China have scored remarkable progress in the
political, trade and science and technological cooperation and
maintained close exchange and communication on the international
and regional issues, Khan noted.
He also stressed that Bangladesh welcomes China to become an
observer to the South Asian Association Regional Cooperation
(SAARC).
The two sides also exchanged views on the other international
and regional issues of common concern.
