“No matter what changes have taken place inside Bangladesh, China’s commitment to develop our bilateral relations remains unchanged,” said Chinese Ambassador Yao Wen while hosting a reception at a city hotel on Wednesday to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of China.

Yao Wen said China sincerely hoped that under the leadership of the interim government, Bangladesh will carry out state reform, maintain political stability, advance economic development and improve people’s livelihoods.

“We believe no one but the Bangladeshi people have the rights to choose their path of development,” he said.

He also said Bangladesh-China bilateral relations are based on the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, with full respect to the independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Bangladesh.
