Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday met with Bangladeshi Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, who is on an official visit to China.
The two leaders jointly announced the decision to build a China-Bangladesh community with a shared future in the new era, elevating bilateral relations to a higher level.
Xi noted that China has always attached great importance to the development of China-Bangladesh relations, and stayed true to the policy of good-neighborliness and friendship toward all the people of Bangladesh.
No matter how the world changes, China will not waver in its commitment to the overall direction of China-Bangladesh friendly relations, and will always be a trustworthy good friend, good neighbor, and good partner of Bangladesh, he said.
“This year marks the 105th anniversary of the Communist Party of China (CPC). Looking back over its history, the CPC has united and led the Chinese people in emerging from poverty and weakness and blazing a path of Chinese modernization. The strength lies in independence and self-reliance, and in keeping the future of national development and progress firmly in our own hands,” Xi said.
He said China supports Bangladesh in upholding national independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity and rejecting foreign interference.
China supports the new government of Bangladesh in its governance efforts, and stands ready to work with Bangladesh to carry out high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, he said.
China is willing to make sound plans for the orderly cooperation in priority areas with Bangladesh, and explore cooperation potential in green and low-carbon development, digital economy, information technology, and artificial intelligence, he said.
Xi said China is willing to conduct exchanges in healthcare, culture and education and at subnational levels, and advance the development of the China-Myanmar-Bangladesh Economic Corridor for greater regional connectivity.
China is ready to strengthen communication and coordination with Bangladesh within multilateral frameworks, including the UN, to jointly promote an equal and orderly multipolar world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, and better uphold the legitimate rights and common interests of the two countries and the interests of the Global South, he said.
Extending congratulations on the 105th anniversary of the founding of the CPC, Rahman said that China is a valued and trusted partner of Bangladesh, and Chinese modernization is an example for Bangladesh to learn from.
Bangladesh hopes to strengthen bilateral exchanges between political parties, advance Belt and Road cooperation, and enhance cooperation and exchanges in economy and trade, connectivity, agriculture, technology, green energy, education and health to help Bangladesh achieve modernization, Rahman said.
Bangladesh is firmly committed to the one-China principle, recognizes that Taiwan is an integral part of China’s territory, opposes any form of “Taiwan independence,” and firmly upholds the authority of the UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, he said.
The vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity and the four global initiatives put forward by President Xi are important to maintaining world peace, development and international fairness and justice, he said, adding that Bangladesh fully supports them.
Rahman said Bangladesh is ready to strengthen coordination and collaboration with China on international and regional affairs and uphold the outcomes of the victory of WWII and the UN-centered international order. ■
