The Chinese Minister is set to meet Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina tommorow. Wang Yi will also hold a bilateral meeting with his Bangladesh counterpart AK Abdul Momen.
On Friday, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying said they will have an exchange of views on bilateral relations and international and regional issues of shared interest. We highly value our relationship with Bangladesh, she added.
"We hope the visit will provide an opportunity to further implement the common understandings between the leaders of the two countries, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation and elevate the relationship to a new level," she said during a press conference.
She said they "highly value" their relationship with Bangladesh and the Chinese Foreign Minister is visiting Bangladesh at the invitation of Foreign Minister Momen.
This visit comes even as tension is brewing in the Taiwan Strait after US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's high profile visit to the self-governed island China claims as its territory.
Earlier, Bangladesh Foreign Ministry said it is closely following the developments in the Taiwan Strait and urges all parties concerned to exercise utmost restraint and refrain from any actions that may aggravate tensions and undermine peace and stability in the region and beyond.
