Spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in Bangladesh again refutes China-related remarks by the U.S. Ambassador to Bangladesh Photo: Chinese Embassy in Bangladesh

The US Ambassador to Bangladesh was singing the same old tune again, pointed fingers at China-Bangladesh relations and was mixing white and black. Such remarks are made with ulterior motives, Chinese Embassy in Bangladesh slammed on Thursday, following claims made by the US Ambassador to Bangladesh Brent T. Christensen saying that the US is concerned about growing Chinese influence in South Asia and is committed to working closely with the Bangladeshi government to clearly communicate the risks of certain types of engagement with China. 

China and Bangladesh respect and support each other and have set a fine example of friendly exchanges and mutually beneficial cooperation between countries. China is a trustworthy partner of South Asian countries, and its friendly cooperation with South Asian countries has safeguarded peace and stability in the region, promoted development and revitalization, and has been supported and welcomed by the peoples in the region, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy said on Thursday. 

China-Bangladesh relations, as well as China's relations with South Asian countries, are not targeted at any third party, nor will they be swayed by any external force. Any attempt to interfere in or obstruct these relations is doomed to fail, the spokesperson said.
