From February 25 to March 6, at the invitation of the International Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee (IDCPC), a 21-member delegation from Bangladesh, consisting of representatives from political parties, student leaders, scholars, and journalists, visited China. This was the first time the Chinese side invited a large-scale, cross-sectoral delegation from the country for an official visit, which has been described as "a major diplomatic development" in China-Bangladesh relations.

During the visit, several delegation members told the Global Times that the trip had provided them with a firsthand understanding of China's development. They were particularly impressed by China's achievements in technology and infrastructure. Given Bangladesh's current political shifts and socio-economic challenges, they believe that sustaining stable cooperation with China, especially under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), will help build a more stable and prosperous future for their country.

During the delegation's visit to China, Sun Haiyan, vice minister of the IDCPC, held a meeting with the delegation. The delegation visited three places - Beijing, Shaanxi, and Yunnan - where they toured Chinese companies such as BYD, LONGi, and iFlytek, as well as the Yangling Modern Agriculture Demonstration Park Innovation Zone. They also visited a village in Menghai county in Yunnan to observe local grassroot governance and rural industrial development, the Global Times has learned.
