Bangladesh News: Amid recent tension in relations between Bangladesh and India, China has taken steps to strengthen its relations with Dhaka. Since the fall of Sheikh Hasina government in August last year, relations between Bangladesh and India have come to an end and China is trying to deepen its relations with Bangladesh, taking advantage of the opportunity.
Recently, a 22 -member delegation from Bangladesh, including politicians, journalists, civil society workers and academics, has gone on a 10 -day visit to China. The purpose of this visit is to establish dialogue with the leaders and government officials of the Chinese Communist Party.

India-Bangladesh relationship is not good
The delegation is visiting at a time when diplomatic relations between India and Bangladesh are constantly becoming tense. Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been staying in exile in India since its development in August and Delhi has rejected Dhaka’s request for her extradition.
Tauheed Hussain-Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi also met
This week’s visit took place after a meeting between the Interim Government’s Foreign Policy Advisor Tauheed Hussain and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in January. China is constantly trying to increase its influence in Bangladesh.
Analysts believe that this move of China is inspired by its desire to expand its influence in the region. Bangladesh, a population of about 170 million people, can be an important companion for China. There is a very strong trading relationship between the two countries, with bilateral trade to approximately $ 24 billion, which mainly includes Chinese exports.
