China Bangladesh Relations

The China factor, while important, should not be overstated. India-Bangladesh ties today stand on their own merit.

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, on a visit to China, has described her country's ties with India and engagements with New Delhi as "organic", saying it is "beyond a few billions of dollars of trade".

Bangladesh is a "so-called friend" and poses a bigger security challenge to India than Pakistan and China, junior home minister Hansraj Gangaram Ahir said on Thursday in controversial remarks that come against the backdrop of efforts to strengthen relations between the two countries.

The Beijing-based Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) will provide Bangladesh loans worth $60 million to address the country's gas supply deficit, the AIIB said on Tuesday.

Superior infrastructure in Tibet will provide China an "upper hand" over India by being a "gateway" to Nepal and Bangladesh for greater trade and investments, Chinese media said today.

India need not feel "jealous" about close relations between China and Bangladesh in the wake of President Xi Jinping's impending Dhaka visit, state media said today while observing that it would not be bad if such a relationship puts pressure on New Delhi to improve Sino-India ties.

Pakistan is the only all-weather partner of China and the bilateral relationship which is based on similar strategic and security interests is a model to follow, an article in a state-run Chinese daily said today.

Claiming success in its new phase of neighbourhood diplomacy, China today said progress has been made in its ambitious 'Silk Road' and 'Maritime Silk Road' projects.
