Wang Yi extended China's full support to the reform agenda of the current Bangladeshi government, led by Muhammad Yunus.

He emphasised China's interest in supporting key sectors such as medical tourism, water management, textiles, energy, and light engineering.

Foreign Adviser Touhid conveyed his deep appreciation for China's political and developmental support and reiterated Bangladesh's call for a swift and sustainable solution to the Rohingya crisis.

He sought China's continued assistance on regional and multilateral fronts, including within the United Nations.

In a separate meeting with Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand, the two sides explored avenues to broaden bilateral cooperation, focusing on trade diversification and building economic resilience.
