Wajed said China is a trustworthy friend of Bangladesh, and thanked China for its long-term assistance.
She said it is a cornerstone of Bangladesh's foreign policy to deepen the comprehensive cooperative partnership with China.
She added that Bangladesh was ready to strengthen high-level visits with China, expand their cooperation in such areas as trade, infrastructure construction, agriculture, technology, ocean, communication and culture, and jointly promote the building of the economic corridor along China, Bangladesh, India and Myanmar.
The prime minister also welcomed Chinese companies to increase investment in Bangladesh and participate in its infrastructure construction, and vowed to play a positive role for the relations between SAARC and China.
Wajed has been invited by Li to pay an official visit to China from June 6 to 11. This is her third visit to China and the first one since she was elected as prime minister for the second time in January.
