Bangladesh-China relations should focus on further development: Hasina
Bangladesh's Premier Sheikh Hasina described China as one of the major development partners of Bangladesh and said the main focus of the bilateral relations between the two countries should be focused on further development of the two nations.
'The main focus of the bilateral relations of the two countries should be on how to further develop our countries,' she said when Chinese vice-minister for foreign affairs Sun Weidong paid a courtesy call to her at the latter's official Ganabhaban residence.

Prime minister Sheikh Hasina said the country has allotted lands for Chinese entrepreneurs in the economic zones in Bangladesh and they can set up industries there.
The Chinese Vice-minister Sun conveyed the greetings of the Chinese President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister to Sheikh Hasina.
Praising the development of Bangladesh, Chinese Vice-minister said he visited Bangladesh some 10 years ago, but this time he found Bangladesh a much more developed one. Bangladesh witnessed tremendous development under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina, he said.
