DHAKA Devonta Freeman Falcons Jersey , March 28 (Xinhua) -- Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, is situated on the northeastern bank of the Buriganga river and for centuries the river had remained a hurdle in reaching the capital.

Describing China as a trusted friend and an important stakeholder in the global economy, Quader said he hoped for more Chinese assistance in implementing major projects in the country.
According to the minister, the Bangladeshi government has sent a list of five prospective bridge sites to Chinese authorities for the construction of the 9th and 10th Bangladesh-China Friendship Bridges.
Friendship bridges assisted by the Chinese government have greatly improved the infrastructure in Bangladesh and enhanced the country's economic development.
The building of friendship bridges has also deepened positive feelings and overall relations between the peoples of both countries.

"Businesses are now improving. People faced huge difficulties due to unemployment when there was no bridge over the river. But now this is a developed area in all aspects and there are huge employment opportunities."
Building friendship bridges has surely prompted the ongoing friendship between Bangladesh and China, and Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on several occasions thanked China for its enormous contributions to Bangladesh's economic development.
