Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus has said the relationship between Bangladesh and China would further be deepened through his four-day official visit that begins on Wednesday.
"I am going to China on a four-day visit. I will meet with President Xi Jinping. I will also meet with CEOs of major Chinese businesses," he said ahead of the visit.
The chief adviser is scheduled to leave Dhaka for China on Wednesday afternoon.
Addressing the nation on Tuesday evening, Yunus said the world's largest Chinese solar panel manufacturer Longji has expressed interest in setting up a factory in Bangladesh.
"We are working with them. In addition, technical assistance, medical assistance, low-cost treatment and other issues will be discussed," he said, adding that they (China) want to import mangoes, jackfruit and guava from Bangladesh. "This will start very soon."
Bangladesh and China are set to sign several agreements and Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) as Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus and Chinese President Xi Jinping prepare to hold a bilateral meeting in Beijing on 28 March.
The bilateral cooperation documents are likely to be signed in the areas of human resource development, economic and technical assistance, cultural and sports cooperation and cooperation between the media.
Besides, announcements related to economy, investment and economic zones are likely to be made.
