DHAKA, March 25, 2025 (BSS) - Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus's visit to China will focus on attracting foreign investment to Bangladesh, Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam said today.

"The main focus of the Chief Adviser's visit will be to talk to Chinese investors, manufacturers, energy companies, and Chinese top private and state-run companies," he told a press briefing at the Foreign Service Academy here this afternoon. 

Chief Adviser Prof Yunus will leave here for China tomorrow on a four-day official visit.

Alam said as part of his economic diplomacy, Prof Yunus is presenting Bangladesh before the world as a manufacturing hub.

The interim government is taking all possible policy measures to build Bangladesh as a manufacturing hub and works are on to provide one stop service for all so that foreign firms do not face any hassle to invest in the country's private sector, he said.

The main goal of the government is to create jobs in Bangladesh and accelerate its economy, the press secretary added.

On March 27, he said, Prof Yunus will address the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) conference focusing on the changing role of Asia in the world.

On the sidelines of the forum, he is expected to have important meetings with chief executive officers (CEOs) of giant global and Chinese firms, Alam said. 

He said Prof Yunus will hold a bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on March 28. 

The Chief Adviser will also have meetings with investors in Beijing too, he added.
