Chinese envoy calls BD students 'bridge of hope' in Dhaka-Beijing friendship

Chinese Ambassador Yao Wen has said that young Bangladeshi students are the "bridge of hope" to carry forward the tradition of friendship between the two countries, reports UNB.

While speaking at a reception, he encouraged students to study hard.

"They should not only learn the professional courses, but also Chinese history and culture. They should not only attend lectures, but also explore the streets and make more Chinese friends," said the ambassador.

The farewell reception for 2023 Chinese Government Scholarship (CGS) recipients was held at the Embassy of China in Dhaka on Monday evening.

Toufique Hasan, Director-General of the East Asia and Pacific Wing of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh, and Munshi Faiz Ahmed, former Ambassador of Bangladesh to China and chief of Association of Bangladesh-China Alumni (ABCA), granted CGS admission letters to Bangladeshi scholarship recipients.
