China will provide special preferential
treatment for access of some Bangladeshi products to its market to reduce the
prevailing trade imbalance between the two countries and cooperate in paving
the way for implementation of the Ruppur Nuclear Power Plant undertaken for
peaceful purpose.
Beijing will also consider Dhaka's request for engaging China in the Bangladesh-Myanmar Road Link
scheme meant for enhancing trade and people-to-people contact.
The
hosts at a summit meet in Beijing Tuesday also assured cooperation in
constructing envisaged Meghna and Gumti bridges in Bangladesh, after constructing six friendship
bridges in Bangladesh. Besides, they will provide
technological support in developing hybrid seeds.
China's assurances came during official
talks between Bangladesh and China at the Great Hall of the People on Tuesday, where the chief adviser, Fakhruddin
Ahmed, led the Bangladesh side while the Chinese premier, Wen
Jiabao, headed the host country.
Three cooperation deals
were struck capping the talks.
