PM to visit China 'at some point': Foreign Adviser

Prime Minister's Foreign Affairs Adviser Humaiun Kobir has said that Prime Minister Tarique Rahman will definitely visit China "at some point," stressing that the timing and itinerary of the PM's first bilateral visit abroad have not yet been finalised.
 
"Once finalised, we will let you know. At some point, the Prime Minister will visit China, which remains an important development partner for Bangladesh," he told reporters at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday. 

The Adviser made the remarks amid speculation that the Prime Minister may visit China first, potentially with developments related to the Teesta project. 

He said Bangladesh had a "very good and positive" discussion with China regarding the Teesta River Comprehensive Management and Restoration Project (TRCMRP), adding that China's Exim Bank will finance the project.
