"We envision the centre for China studies as a bridge connecting China and Bangladesh, South Asia and the world, making substantive contributions to mutual understanding, cooperation and peaceful development"
The establishment of the centre for China studies is not only an affirmation of the profound friendship between Bangladesh and China but also an important milestone in the educational and academic exchanges and cooperation between the two sides.
"The centre will provide a valuable platform for Bangladeshi scholars to gain an in-depth understanding of Chinese culture, history and society, which is of great significance for Bangladesh to realize Smart Bangladesh and Vision 2041."
Economic and social development is an important task for Bangladesh, and the core mission of the centre is to promote economic and social cooperation and experience exchanges between China and Bangladesh.
It is hoped that China and Bangladesh will make joint efforts to make the centre a high-level, high-standard and open platform for cultural and people-to-people exchanges so as to promote China-Bangladesh economic and social development cooperation and people-to-people bonds, making it a core base for China studies with influence in South Asia and Southeast Asia and becoming a leading research institution with global influence.
