Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Yao Wen today said Chief Adviser Prof Mohammad Yunus' visit to China would be "very successful, productive and a milestone visit" with some announcements.

"We are working very closely with Bangladesh... We are still having discussions," he said when a journalist approached him after his meeting with Foreign Secretary Md Jashim Uddin at the foreign ministry.

Responding to a question, Yao said this is something between Bangladesh and China as the two countries are celebrating 50 years of diplomatic relations.

Regarding the announcement, he said, "Wait and see. We are still working on it."

Talking to reporters briefly, Foreign Adviser Touhid Hossain said no agreement will be signed during the visit, but a few MoUs are likely to be signed.
"This is going to be the most important visit by a Bangladeshi leader in 50 years," said Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam, quoting Yao who met Dr Yunus on March 16.
He said a big focus will be given on relocation of Chinese factories to Bangladesh to make the country a manufacturing hub.

Yunus and Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to hold their first-ever bilateral meeting on March.
