Beijing, August 9 — China has officially welcomed the formation of the new interim government in Bangladesh, expressing its commitment to enhancing bilateral relations and cooperation. On Friday, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian issued a statement congratulating Bangladesh on its new government, led by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus as Chief Adviser.
In response to a question about the interim government's formation, Lin Jian emphasized China's longstanding policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. He reaffirmed that China respects Bangladesh's independence, sovereignty, and the right of its people to determine their own developmental path.
"We firmly adhere to the principle of good neighborliness and friendship with all the people of Bangladesh," Lin Jian stated. He also highlighted the deep and long-standing friendship between the two nations, expressing China's willingness to work closely with the new government to enhance exchanges and cooperation across various sectors.
China's warm reception of Bangladesh's interim government comes on the heels of similar statements from other global powers, including the United States, India, and the European Union, all of whom have also welcomed the new leadership in Dhaka.
The Chinese spokesperson underscored the importance of the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between China and Bangladesh, noting that China values its relationship with Bangladesh and looks forward to further advancing this partnership in the coming months.
