Muhammad Yunus, head of Bangladesh's interim government, met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, marking his first bilateral state visit since taking leadership. The visit follows significant political unrest leading to former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's ousting and flight to India. As relations between Bangladesh and India have been strained, China's opportunity to deepen its relationship with Dhaka has grown, given its economic interests in the region, highlighted by plans for multiple agreements focusing on economic, cultural, and media collaboration during Yunus' visit.
Bangladesh has been grappling with political infighting since Sheikh Hasina's departure, prompting China to strengthen its ties with the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus.
Yunus' visit to China marks an important step in reinvigorating Bangladesh's foreign relations, especially as the nation seeks to navigate the fallout from the recent political upheaval.
