Bangladesh’s foreign policy mantra, of “friendship to all and malice towards none” has been at the forefront of its diplomacy, and it is good to see it continue to pay dividends. To that end, we greatly appreciate Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Yao Wen as he expresses that Chinese enterprises in Bangladesh will take more responsibilities of promoting sustainable development and deepening the friendship between the two countries. At this juncture, there is no questioning the importance of China to Bangladesh; from being by far Bangladesh’s biggest trade partner to China funding numerous megaprojects, China and Bangladesh have only gone from strength to strength when it comes to their relationship. With Bangladesh attempting to change its business climate and attract more foreign direct investment, now is the time for Chinese businesses to explore more potential investment opportunities. Fostering stronger ties with not just China, but every nation on the planet should continue to be Bangladesh’s strategy.
