BEIJING (AP) — China and Bangladesh are reaffirming their ties during a visit by Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to Beijing on Wednesday as tensions rise in the region over territorial disputes and resources.
China’s official Xinhua News Agency quoted Wang Huning, a member of China’s Politburo Standing Committee who met with Hasina, as saying that “China and Bangladesh have respected and treated each other with equality, setting a good example of friendly coexistence and mutually beneficial cooperation between countries.”
Xinhua reported Hasina later met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and “elevated their relations to a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership.” No details were given. but the designation of relations generally entails closer economic relations, largely funded by Chinese policy banks.
