Chinese President Xi Jinping met Bangladesh’s interim government chief, Muhammad Yunus, in Beijing on Friday, AFP reported, citing Chinese state media.
The visit comes as Bangladesh looks for new allies amid changing ties with India.
Yunus is on a four-day visit to China to strengthen ties and attract investment. Earlier, he attended the Boao Forum for Asia in Hainan.
This is his first bilateral visit since taking office in August 2024 and coincides with 50 years of Bangladesh-China diplomatic relations.
Yunus is accompanied by Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain, Energy Adviser Muhammad Fouzul Kabir Khan, High Representative Khalilur Rahman, SDG Coordinator Lamiya Morshed, and Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam.
