Chinese President Xi Jinping has told Sheikh Hasina his country wants a better strategic relationship with Bangladesh.
The prime minister met the Chinese leader Tuesday, the fifth day of her official visit, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, according to a news agency.
Foreign Secretary Md Shahidul Haque told reporters after the meeting that President Xi told Hasina the ties between the two nations would advance much further.
“He believes China and Bangladesh have a strategic partnership and the Chinese government will work to further this relation,” he said.
Xi expressed satisfaction over the military cooperation and hoped that strategic relations between the two forces would be further deepened.
He said the ties between China and Bangladesh were historical and recalled Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s visit to China in 1952.
