Chinese ambassador Li Jiming on Monday said that Bangladesh’s engagement in the US-led Indo-Pacific Strategy would substantially damage Dhaka’s relations with Beijing.
Replying to a question on the recent visit of the Chinese defence minister to Dhaka, Li Jiming described the IPS as a club of a small group of ‘elite’ countries, including US and Japan, and said that the group was neither for economic purposes nor for ensuring security in the region. ‘It is about China,’ he said.
‘[It is] not a good idea for Bangladesh to participate in a small club. Any form of participation for Bangladesh in this small group may substantially damage relations [with China],’ the ambassador said in a programme on Bangladesh-China relations with Diplomatic Correspondents Association, Bangladesh held virtually.
