Bangladesh yesterday assured China that it would close the Taiwanese liaison office in Dhaka, if it finds proof of its involvement in political and diplomatic activities.
The assurance came after China asked Bangladesh to take effective steps to shut down the office that Beijing said was operating with political and diplomatic motives.
"I handed over a letter from Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing to his counterpart here regarding the hot issue in the press -- the Taiwanese liaison office," Chinese Ambassador in Bangladesh Chai Xi told reporters after he spent two hours talking to Foreign Minister M Morshed Khan and foreign secretary.
