Ambassador of China to Bangladesh Yao Wen paid a courtesy call on the Governor of Bangladesh Bank at his office in central bank's headquarters in Motijheel on Thursday (July 23).
During the meeting, both sides exchanged views on further strengthening bilateral economic and trade relations between Bangladesh and China.
To improve the trade balance between the two countries, the central bank Governor urged China to increase its imports of Bangladeshi products.
The Governor also sought China's technical assistance and experience from its 'Single QR' system to support the implementation of 'Bangla QR' in Bangladesh.
When the Chinese Ambassador emphasized the importance of further easing foreign investment, the Governor highlighted that Bangladesh Bank has already introduced several investment-friendly policy initiatives. Consequently, foreign investors can smoothly repatriate their invested capital and earn profits back to their home countries.
Furthermore, the Governor called for expanded Chinese investment in Bangladesh's technology-driven and industrial sectors.
Counsellor Song Yang and Attaché Wen Jinhua accompanied the Chinese Ambassador during the meeting. Bangladesh Bank Deputy Governors Dr. Habibur Rahman and Md. Sarwar Hossain was also present on behalf of the central bank.
