DHAKA, June 2, 2026 (BSS) - China has hosted a pre-departure reception for a

Office (PMO), underscoring growing bilateral cooperation and exchanges on 
governance and development.

The upcoming training programme for senior PMO officials in China reflects 
the continuation and deepening of the positive momentum in bilateral

governance and public administration.
