“The project provided thousands of jobs for local communities and trained thousands of skilled Bangladeshi technicians,” said ambassador Yao, adding that it has successfully driven economic and social development along the route, becoming a model of Bangladesh-China economic and trade cooperation.
“China stands ready to collaborate with Bangladesh to ensure this railway deliver even more significant economic and social benefits,” said the ambassador.
China pursues a policy of friendship and good-neighbourliness for all the people of Bangladesh, and sincerely hopes that the nation could achieve unity, stability, and development, and firmly supports the interim government, he said.
Since the establishment of the interim government, ambassador Yao said, China has demonstrated its support with concrete actions. “We dispatched a medical team to Bangladesh to assist those injured in the July-August movement.”
