Spokesperson of the Embassy in Bangladesh refutes US Ambassador to Bangladesh's remarks related to China

Q: According to reports, the US Ambassador to Bangladesh recently stated that the US is concerned about China's increasing influence in South Asia and will clarify to the Bangladeshi side the potential risks of engaging with China. What is China's evaluation of this?

Answer: The remarks made by the US Ambassador to Bangladesh are neither responsible nor based on facts. They completely distort black and white and have ulterior motives. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Bangladesh more than 50 years ago, both sides have always supported each other, treated each other equally, and cooperated for win-win results. The cooperation between China and Bangladesh benefits the people of both countries, contributes to regional development and stability, and has received widespread support from the people of both countries. The cooperation between China and Bangladesh is a matter for the people of both countries, and there is no tolerance for the US to interfere. I advise the US Ambassador to Bangladesh to have a clear understanding of his responsibilities and to do more things that are beneficial to the stability of Bangladesh and regional development cooperation.
