China has urged stronger collaboration with Bangladesh to expand renewable energy development, with a focus on building a model for green growth under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
Speaking at the Fourth Bangladesh-China Renewable Energy Forum in Dhaka, Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Yao Wen emphasized the importance of joint efforts to achieve meaningful progress.
“With combined initiatives, China-Bangladesh cooperation in renewable energy can deliver tangible results and serve as an example of green development under the BRI,” he said.
The envoy highlighted the need for practical cooperation that benefits people, supports industries, and contributes to global climate action.
He noted that the ongoing Middle East conflict has created uncertainty in global energy supplies, underscoring the urgency for Bangladesh to accelerate its transition to renewable energy.
“It is high time for Bangladesh to move decisively towards renewable energy, and equally important for China and Bangladesh to work together in this sector,” he added.
