A China foreign ministry spokesperson on Friday addressed the matter of Bangladesh forming an interim government.
An interim government for Bangladesh was sworn in on August 8, with Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus serving as chief adviser.
The spokesperson said in this regard, “China has noted that Bangladesh has formed an interim government and welcomes it. China strictly follows the principle of non-interference in other countries’ internal affairs.
“We respect Bangladesh’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity and the development path independently chosen by the Bangladeshi people. We stand firmly by our policy of good neighborliness and friendship with all people of Bangladesh.”
The official added, “The friendship between China and Bangladesh runs long and deep.
“China values its relations with Bangladesh, and stands ready to work with Bangladesh to promote bilateral exchanges and cooperation in various areas and further advance our comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership.”
