Bangladesh's Yunus to visit China this month

Bangladeshi leader Muhammad Yunus will travel to Beijing on a diplomatic goodwill visit this month as frosty relations with neighbouring India spur his caretaker administration to court new friends. The Nobel Peace laureate took charge of Bangladesh last August after the ouster of autocratic ex-premier Sheikh Hasina, who fled to India after a student-led uprising. India was the biggest benefactor of Hasina's government and her ouster sent cross-border relations into a tailspin. That has prompted the caretaker government helmed by Yunus to seek greater ties with Beijing, New Delhi's chief rival for power and influence in the Asian subcontinent. "Bangladesh aims to elevate this bilateral relationship to new heights," Yunus's media secretary Shafiqul Alam told reporters on Sunday in a briefing on next week's visit. "They will discuss a wide range of issues concerning both countries." Yunus is slated to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping during the March 26-29 visit.
