China, Bangladesh to start FTA negotiations soon: Envoy Yao Wen

The envoy was speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the 2024 Chinese government training programmes at the Chinese Embassy in Dhaka.

These programmes have trained more than 5,500 government officials and experts from Bangladesh so far. The number of trainees this year exceeds 500.

More direct flights from Dhaka to Beijing will start very soon, Yao was cited as saying by Bangladesh media reports.

A Centre for China Studies was launched recently at the Dhaka University to promote joint studies and exploration of bilateral, regional and global affairs, strengthening people-to-people exchange, he added.
