China to help install nuclear power plant in Bangladesh, model Sino-Pak comprehensive relationship
China will assist Bangladesh in installing nuclear power plant on the China-Pakistan cooperation model to help latter meet the rising electricity demand, Chinese Ambassador in Dhaka Zheng Qing Dian said yesterday.
"China and Bangladesh signed agreement on peaceful use of nuclear power in 2005, which clears the way for our civil nuclear cooperation," the Chinese Ambassador told a Meet-the-Reporters programme organised by the Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) at its conference hall.
Zheng requested Bangladesh side for further communications and said the Chinese government supports the nuclear enterprises to carry out cooperation in nuclear power.
He noted the cooperation could follow the China-Pakistan cooperation model.
The present government has a pledge to make operational the dormant Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant to meet the growing demand for electricity.
Chaired by DRU president Shamim Ahmad the function was also addressed by its general secretary Pathik Saha.
Replying to a question over Bangladesh-China (Kunming) highway link through Myanmar, the diplomat said China takes an active attitude on this project as it will facilitate personal exchanges and trade among countries in this region.
Asked about a rising trade gap between Dhaka and Beijing, Zheng said China takes seriously its trade imbalance with Bangladesh and has no intention to pursue trade surplus. China has, therefore, actively adopted measures to increase imports from Bangladesh, he said.
