Kazi Mohamad Nasir Uddin, a professor at Dhaka's Jagannath University, said: "We've really enjoyed the performances, which presented the rich cultural heritage of China. Such visits of Chinese troupes will strengthen cultural bonds between the countries. And this will be reflected in our social life, state life and in all spheres of life."

Chinese Ambassador Ma Mingqian also highly commended such cultural exchange.

"The Spring Festival is a time to celebrate. It's a time to celebrate what we have done and what we have achieved. And indeed we have achieved a lot in the past year."

"The Chinese economy remains stable, contrary to concerns from many corners of the world. We have maintained a very strong momentum of growth," the ambassador added.

The ambassador was also praised the achievements of Bangladesh and its people.

"You have maintained a very high economic growth over the last 17 years and I hope that China and Bangladesh will work hand in hand not only to bring a better future for all of our people, but also for the region and to continue to contribute to the prosperity and stability of the rest of the world as well."

He expressed his hope that cultural exchanges between the two countries will become an important pillar for bilateral relations and that this closer relationship of cooperation will lead to the bright future of the people of both countries.

BCFC President Hossain also said that such a program will contribute immensely to further deepening bilateral relations.

"I believe both Bangladesh and China are heading for a better, brighter future and the two countries will continue to benefit each other culturally," Hossain concluded.
