Ready to work with interim govt in Bangladesh, says China

Citing that friendship between China and Bangladesh runs “long and deep,” Beijing said on Friday that it “stands ready” to work with the newly formed interim government in Bangladesh to promote bilateral relations between the two countries. 

“China has noted that Bangladesh has formed an interim government and welcomes it. China strictly follows the principle of



non-interference in other countries’ internal affairs. We respect Bangladesh’s independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the development path independently chosen by the Bangladeshi people,” said a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson.

An interim government was sworn in on Thursday night in Bangladesh with Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus as its Chief Advisor.
