The Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Yao Wen expressed concern over the ongoing quota reform movement, stating that the violence and loss of life are unfortunate.

"We believe the government of Bangladesh has the capacity and wisdom to solve its own problems. We wish peace and stability will be restored in Bangladesh very soon," the ambassador told reporters in response to a question after meeting with Foreign Minister Hasan Mahmud at his ministry on Thursday.

Yao Wen met with Hasan Mahmud as a follow-up to the recent visit of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to China.

The ambassador further said that peace and stability are important for China, especially during this time when increased cooperation and investment are crucial. "We wish to see stability and for the Bangladesh government to move forward," he added.
