China has noted that Bangladesh has formed an interim government and welcomes it and reiterated that Beijing 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," said a Spokesperson at the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
China said they stand firmly by their policy of good neighborliness and friendship with all people of Bangladesh.
The friendship between Bangladesh and China runs long and deep, said the spokesperson.
"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," the spokesperson mentioned.
Nobel laureate and globally acclaimed economist Prof Muhammad Yunus was sworn-in as the chief adviser of the interim government on Thursday night amid hope for a new journey towards Bangladesh’s democratic future.
