Chinese Ambassador Yao Wen has said that in recent years, Bangladesh has made progress in economic and social development, and the international community is optimistic about Bangladesh’s growth prospects.
“This achievement is inseparable from the active role played by 45 million Bangladeshi youth, who are full of vitality and innovative spirit, and are the backbone of promoting the construction of ‘Smart Bangladesh’ and ‘Sonar Bangla’” he said.
The ambassador made the comment at an event on “Ramadan Gathering with China” held on Wednesday at the Embassy of China.
Over 150 youth representatives from the Bangladeshi government, political parties, military, universities, enterprises, media houses and foreign missions took part in the event, the embassy said.
The ambassador conveyed his best wishes to the audience for the sacred Ramadan in the welcoming remarks.
“China looks forward to further strengthening youth exchanges between China and Bangladesh, stimulating their potential and injecting new hope and positive energy into the future development of the two countries and the world at large,” he said.
Ambassador Yao Wen pointed out that in the face of the complex international situation, China has steadily advanced Chinese modernization, maintained the resilience and vitality of economic growth, and made significant contributions to the global economy.
“China promotes the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, advocates an equal and orderly multipolar world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization.
“It is hoped that through this event, young friends from all walks of life in Bangladesh will have a better understanding of Chinese insight, Chinese input, Chinese strength and the latest development of China-Bangladesh relations, and serve as envoys to deepen China-Bangladesh traditional friendship.”
Four young diplomats from the embassy delivered presentations with visual materials, shared their own observations and analyses, and had exchanges with the young participants.
The second year of “Ramadan Gathering with China” is a program tailored for the youth group of Bangladesh, aiming at enhancing the friendly exchanges of young talents from the two countries.
