Chinese Embassy hosts pre-departure reception for trainee diplomats

Chinese Embassy in Bangladesh on Tuesday hosted the pre-departure reception for the participants of the “2026 Training Program for Bangladeshi Diplomats in China.”

Yao Wen, Ambassador of China to Bangladesh; M Forhadul Islam, secretary of Intergovernmental Organizations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh; Muhammad Abdul Muhith, rector of the Foreign Service Academy, all the trainees about to depart for the training in China and diplomats of the Embassy were present at the event.

Ambassador Yao noted that China-Bangladesh relations now stand at a new historical starting point, and that young diplomats represent the future of the friendship between the two countries.

He expressed the hope that the Bangladeshi trainees would make their journey to China one of ideas, practice, and dialogue. They would work to translate what they see, hear and learn during their tour into concrete actions to promote China-Bangladesh friendship, Yao Wen hoped.

Forhadul Islam thanked the Chinese side for its thoughtful organization of the training, noting that the training program in China for young diplomats has become a flagship project of diplomatic cooperation between Bangladesh and China. He expressed confidence that, through this visit, the trainees will further deepen their understanding of China's development path and foreign policy philosophy, and contribute to the growth of Bangladesh-China relations.
