Bangladesh-China Youth Camp begins today in Yunnan
An 83-member Bangladeshi youth delegation reached Yunnan in China yesterday to attend Bangladesh-China Youth Camp that is beginning today as part of the ongoing efforts to strengthen people to people contact and cultural ties between the two countries.
Another group comprising around 70 participants will be departing today to join others.
“Together it's a 150-member delegation,” a Chinese embassy official accompanying the first group told the news agency.
Bangladesh and China have dedicated 2017 as the Year of Friendship and Exchanges between the two countries when Chinese President Xi Jinping paid a state visit to Bangladesh on October 14-15, 2016.
Intishar Karim, a member of Bangladesh youth delegation, upon his arrival in Yunnan, said, “I am excited to be here. We will be able to share our experience with our Chinese friends. We will explore ways to strengthen friendship with China through building bridges between Bangladesh and Chinese youths.”
Earlier, an orientation programme for the participating students was held at the Chinese embassy in the city.
