Yunus secured $2.1 billion in Chinese investments during his first foreign tour, including the establishment of a Chinese Industrial Economic Zone and modernization of the Mongla port. These agreements signify a new phase in Sino-Bangladeshi relations, despite concerns from analysts regarding the potential geostrategic risks associated with such dependency on China.
Yunus's meeting with Xi was a positive sign for the interim government, as China resumed ties that were stagnant after the previous government.
