UNB Chairman Amanullah Khan and Xinhua Bureau Chief in Dhaka Liu Chuntao signed the agreement on behalf of their respective sides at Cosmos Centre in the city.
Speaking at the agreement-signing programme, UNB Chairman Amanullah Khan expressed the hope that the news exchange agreement would not only expand the scope and add value to UNB service to the clients but also go a long way toward propelling the bilateral relationship between the two friendly countries to a new height.
He emphasised this could be achieved through diffusion of and filtering down news and information of each agency to the common people for the common good.
Xinhua Bureau Chief Liu Chuntao reciprocated by saying that the exchange agreement would open a window of opportunity for both agencies to cash in on and would pave the way for further cooperation in other fields like translation (Bangla Service).
