DHAKA: China on Sunday impressed on the new govt in Dhaka that it stands ready to carry forward cooperation in all sectors with Bangladesh and said "any attempts to undermine its cooperation with Bangladesh or any South Asian countries were doomed to failure".
The remarks came days after the US envoy in Bangladesh Brent Christensen said, "He is concerned about broader Chinese influence in South Asia" and President Donald Trump in a letter to PM Tarique Rahman stressed that the US-Bangladesh partnership "is based on mutual respect and a shared interest in fostering a free and open Indo-Pacific where strong, sovereign nations can prosper".
