Dhaka, Beijing pledge to take bilateral relations to new heights

Bangladesh and China have reaffirmed their commitment to taking bilateral relations to new heights under the framework of a “China-Bangladesh Community with a Shared Future in the New Era”.

The commitment was made during a breakfast meeting hosted by State Minister for Foreign Affairs Humaiun Kobir in honour of Liu Haixing, Minister of the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (IDCPC), at State Guest House Padma on Thursday.

Liu paid a visit to Bangladesh from November 3 to 5.

 During the meeting, both sides recalled the longstanding friendship between Bangladesh and China.

They expressed satisfaction with the outcomes of Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's visit to China in June 2026.

Liu also recalled the contributions of his father, the former Ambassador Liu Shuqing, as Ambassador of China to Bangladesh.

He noted his father's role in strengthening Bangladesh-China relations.

Hilighting the important role of IDCPC in China’s foreign policy, Liu reassured that his office would work relentlessly to strengthen the bilateral relation between the two countries.

They exchanged views on political and party-to-party exchanges, trade, investment, connectivity and development cooperation.

Humaiun Kobir also sought China's continued support for the early repatriation of Rohingyas to Myanmar.

Liu is scheduled to leave Dhaka this afternoon.

State Minister Kobir will see him off at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. -UNB
