Bangladesh commerce minister Tipu Munshi recently stressed on enhancing bilateral relations with China, especially boosting trade ties in future. “There’s no doubt that China is a great friend of Bangladesh and they play a big role in our development efforts,” he said while addressing a ceremony to honour reporting on Bangladesh-China ties.

The Bangladesh China Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCCI) and the Economic Reporters’ Forum (ERF) jointly hosted the event. Chinese ambassador to Bangladesh Li Jiming addressed the event virtually.

Munshi said China is the largest supplier of machinery and goods to Bangladesh while being the latter’s biggest trade partner, according to Bangla media reports.

There could have been a difficult time for the country’s garments sector had there been no material coming from China during the pandemic, he added.
