China wants to contribute to development of Bangladesh

China wants to contribute to Bangladesh’s development, ambassador of the world’s second largest economy, Li Jun, has said. Meeting diplomatic correspondents in Dhaka on Thursday, he said Bangladesh “really matters” to China, as it is an important developing country with a booming economy, and also for its contribution to global peace and regional stability. He said Bangladesh’s “improving” ties with its neighbours added to regional stability and its zero-tolerance of terrorism acted as a “firewall” against the spread of terror. “Like many other countries, especially the neighbouring nations, China undoubtedly benefits from Bangladesh’s efforts (against terrorism)”. The envoy spoke of China’s third version of reforms, its current relations with Bangladesh, and bilateral cooperation at the press meet organised by the Diplomatic Correspondents Association, Bangladesh (DCAB), according to a news agency.
