Bangladesh chief adviser Muhammad Yunus will begin his four-day visit to China on Wednesday, during which he plans to hold talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping after the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government to reposition bilateral relations.

Yunus’ visit to Beijing has raised a request for a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the upcoming Bimstec meeting in Bangkok, from April 2 to 4. This has not been confirmed by India.

Yunus will begin his visit to China by attending the Asian BOAO Forum, an annual meeting of the Beijing Strategic Think Tank.

“China welcomes Chief Advisor Yunus to attend the China Conference,” said Guo Jiakun, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“Let me emphasize that China and Bangladesh are traditionally friendly neighbors and comprehensive strategic partners”.

In Dhaka, Chinese Ambassador Yao Ming to Bangladesh told the media that the chief adviser’s visit to China will be very successful, productive and landmark, and has some announcements.

“This will be the most important visit of the Bangladesh leaders,” said Yunus’ press secretary Shafiqul Alam, after meeting Yunus on March 16 after meeting Yunus on March 16, according to a report from the Dhaka Tribine on Sunday.

Yunus will begin his visit to China by attending the BOAO ASIA Forum at the Beijing Strategic Think Tank Annual Meeting, where leaders and officials, in addition to company leaders from different countries.

According to Alam, he will later go to Beijing and hold talks with XI on March 28.

Since the fall of the Hasina government, China has hosted several delegations, including Touhid Hossain, an adviser to the foreign affairs of the Bangladesh Interim Government, and Hardline Islamic parties such as Hardline Jamaat-e-Islami and the opposition Bangladesh National Party (BNP).

According to the Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS), the state run news agency, during Hossain’s visit in January this year, China had agreed to extend Bangladesh’s loan repayment period, ensure duty-free, quota-free market access for Bangladeshi products, and designate hospitals in Kunming for Bangladeshi patients’ treatment, bolstering bilateral ties.

Beijing also agreed to consider Dhaka’s requirement to lower China’s loan interest rates.

The Daily Star reported that Dhaka will encourage Chinese companies to move their factories to Bangladesh, especially Sunset, as China faces global trade barriers.
He said that if the companies were made in Bangladesh, they could export without restrictions.

China is Bangladesh’s largest trading partner, with a annual volume of US$25 billion. But while China provides Bangladesh with access to the retail fee market, Bangladesh’s exports to China are less than $1 billion.

According to Bangladesh media reports, China’s proposal to implement the Teesta River management project is expected to be proposed. India proposes projects that need to consider sensitivity.

In addition to Washington, New Delhi will watch his visit as Dhaka wants Chinese industry to move to Bangladesh to take advantage of the lower tariffs it enjoys in major markets.

Hasina visited China last July and a month later she was expelled from power amid a massive student incitement and fled to India.
During her visit, the two countries elevated their ties to a “comprehensive strategic partnership”, which demonstrated the importance of China’s relationship with Dhaka and signed 21 agreements.
