- Bangladesh and China are expected to sign several agreements related to economic and technical assistance, cultural and sports cooperation, media collaboration, and human resource development, while also discussing potential cooperation in infrastructure, water conservancy, the digital sector, the marine sector, and the environmental sector, as well as the repatriation of Rohingya refugees.
