Bangladeshi Ambassador to China: China hopes to share prosperity with its neighbours

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Bangladesh. The other day, Bangladesh Ambassador Mr. M. Fazlul Karim accepted an exclusive interview with bbs.people.cn on China-Bangladesh relations. Speaking of the “BCIM Economic Corridor” and the “Belt and Road” Initiative, Mr. Karim believed the main contents of the two initiatives are highly consistent and he hoped that the “Belt and Road” initiative will help China and Bangladesh to jointly create the “Asian Century.”

Mr. Karim said, China and Bangladesh have been linked with each other through the Southern Silk Road and the Maritime Silk Road, and are historically and culturally interconnected and economically complementary. We have developed a deep friendship through non-governmental contacts. The BCIM Economic Corridor is of great significance for strengthening regional interconnectivity and generating new economic growth points, and its construction is in line with the fundamental interests of both countries. In December 2014, Bangladesh hosted the Second BCIM Economic Corridor Summit, during which the representatives from different countries held in-depth discussions on cooperation in a number of areas and identified a number of new areas of cooperation. “I believe the BCIM Economic Corridor will greatly promote the development of the four countries( Bangladesh, China, India and Myanmar),” Mr. Karim was quoted as saying.

On how to connect the “Belt and Road” initiative with the “BCIM Economic Corridor”, Mr. Karim said, the “Belt and Road” initiative focuses on regional interconnectivity, which is well interpreted by the “BCIM Economic Corridor”. China hopes to share wealth, prosperity and innovation with neighbouring countries through the “Belt and Road” initiative. Bangladesh is also eager to learn from China’s great economic development. He stressed that “In the era of global economic integration, we do not want to be isolated. Instead, we hope to create more opportunities for communication and cooperation so that this century will become a real ‘Asian Century’.”
