国内英语资讯:Xi calls for closer China-Bangladesh parliamentary exchanges

Visiting Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday stressed that the parliamentary bodies of China and Bangladesh should enhance exchanges and dialogues.

He made the remarks when he met with Bangladeshi National Assembly Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chowdhury.

Noting that cooperation between the two countries' parliamentary bodies is a significant component of China-Bangladesh ties, Xi said China appreciates the great importance the Bangladeshi National Assembly attaches to developing bilateral ties.

He urged the two countries' parliamentary bodies to strengthen communication, increase public support for improving political mutual trust and aligning development strategies, and provide a sound legal guarantee for the two countries' political, economic and trade cooperation as well as people-to-people exchanges.

Hailing China and Bangladesh as good neighbors, good friends and good partners, Xi said the two countries have great potential in dovetailing development strategies and are highly complementary in practical cooperation.

China attaches great importance to the friendly cooperation with Bangladesh, and is willing to align development strategies with the South Asian nation, advance major projects, enhance people-to-people exchanges and bring concrete benefits to more people in the two countries, said the Chinese president.

Chowdhury, for her part, hailed Xi's state visit as a milestone in the development of bilateral relations, saying that she believes it will bring bilateral ties to a new height.
