国内英语资讯:Yearender: Chinese President Xis visit bolsters Bangladesh in myriad ways

And this "would be host to greater integration with East Asia and connect the three ecosystems to the rest of the world through our seaports in the south," she added.

"We are on the verge of launching the exclusive Economic and Industrial Zone for Chinese in Chittagong that will be a landmark event in our economic, investment and trade cooperation. We would like to encourage Chinese investors to invest in these economic zones as developers or as individual investors," she said.

Retired Lieutenant General Mahbubur Rahman, also the former chief of army staff of the Bangladesh Army, said Xi's visit was truly outstanding and unique in many respects.

"There has not been too many significant events in the history of Bangladesh equal to President Xi Jinping' visit. The Chinese president's visit has opened Bangladesh's golden door to immense prospects and potential developments," said Rahman.

"He has presented the golden keys of prosperity to the people of this country and let us dream very large dreams. He expressed his deep trust, friendship and love for the people of Bangladesh," Rahman, who is also a member of the highest policy making body of ex-Prime Minister Khaleda Zia's largest opposition party BNP, said.

MS Siddiqui, a professor at Dhaka's Daffodil International University, said the image of Bangladesh was blurred due to the recent terrorist attack at a Dhaka hotel but in contrast, Xi's visit served as a diplomatic "milestone" of "historic significance," as the two countries signed 21 agreements amounting to nearly 40 billion U.S. dollars of investment in Bangladesh.
