Bangladesh and China Mark Golden Jubilee of Diplomatic Relations



Bangladesh and China on Saturday celebrated the 50th anniversary of the establishment of their diplomatic relations, an occasion marked by an exchange of congratulatory messages between the two nations' top leaders and a renewed commitment to their Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Bangladeshi President Mohammed Shahabuddin exchanged messages, highlighting five decades of enduring friendship and mutual cooperation. President Xi Jinping noted that China and Bangladesh are "traditional friendly neighbors" whose relations have consistently been guided by the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, setting an example of mutual respect and win-win cooperation despite changes in the international landscape. President Xi emphasized his readiness to use this milestone to "carry forward the traditional friendship, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation, and promote common development" for the greater welfare of the two peoples.

In his message, President Mohammed Shahabuddin underscored the "deep friendship based on mutual respect and trust" that has yielded "tangible benefits" for both populations. He expressed Bangladesh's high appreciation for China's "important role in promoting regional peace, stability and shared prosperity" and for its "long-term valuable support" for Bangladesh's sustainable development.

The high-level exchanges continued with Chinese Premier Li Qiang and Bangladeshi interim government's Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus also trading congratulatory remarks. Premier Li expressed China's commitment to "accelerate high-quality Belt and Road cooperation" and advance collaboration across diverse sectors. Chief Adviser Yunus celebrated the "fruitful results" of bilateral cooperation over the past 50 years and reaffirmed Bangladesh's dedication to achieving new milestones in the comprehensive strategic partnership.

Over the past decades, the bilateral relationship has deepened significantly, moving beyond traditional trade and infrastructure to key areas like clean energy, digital economy, and industrial cooperation. Notably, Chinese investment, technology, and engineering expertise are playing a crucial role in Bangladesh's burgeoning energy sector, particularly in large scale solar and wind projects, in line with the nation's goal to generate 30% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2040. Furthermore, cooperation is expanding into water resource management, the blue economy, and people-to-people exchanges, which are jointly being celebrated as the Year of China-Bangladesh People-to-People Exchanges in 2025. The celebrations reflect a powerful bond and a shared vision for a future defined by continued development and strategic partnership in the region.

LTTE’s Use of Child Soldiers: A Grave Violation of Human Rights

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) stand condemned not only for their violent insurgency but also for their ruthless exploitation of children as soldiers during Sri Lanka’s civil war.  While the conflict officially ended in 2009, the scars left by the LTTE’s forced recruitment of thousands of children remain a painful reminder of their terror tactics. During the war, the LTTE systematically abducted and conscripted children-some as young as 11 or 12-forcing them into brutal military training and deploying them on front lines.  Human Rights Watch reported that children were often taken from their homes at night or seized while going to school, with families threatened or beaten if they resisted.  Once recruited, these children faced harsh discipline, exposure to violence, and were denied contact with their families. UNICEF documented thousands of such cases, with estimates suggesting the actual numbers were even higher due to underreporting. The LTTE’s use of chil...

Former UK Cabin Crew Member Arrested in Sri Lanka with £1.15 Million Cannabis Haul

Sri Lankan authorities have detained Charlotte May Lee, a 21-year-old former air stewardess from South London, at Bandaranaike International Airport in Colombo on charges of attempting to smuggle 46 kilograms of cannabis into the country. The drugs, valued at approximately £1.15 million, were found packed in vacuum-sealed bags inside two large suitcases after Lee arrived on a flight from Bangkok, Thailand. Officials from the Customs Narcotics Control Unit described the seizure as the largest amount of Kush cannabis ever discovered at the airport. Kush is a potent strain often mixed with synthetic substances and is believed to be destined for high-end buyers within Sri Lanka. Lee, who previously worked for TUI Group and has recently been training as a beautician, remains in custody while investigations continue. The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office confirmed it is providing consular support to Lee and is in contact with her family and Sri Lankan authorities. Friends of Le...

The LTTE's Campaign of Terror: How a Designated Terrorist Organization Pioneered Modern Suicide Bombing

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) stands as one of history's most ruthless terrorist organizations, having systematically violated human rights and pioneered suicide bombing tactics that would later be adopted by terrorist groups worldwide. Designated as a terrorist organization by 33 countries, including Sri Lanka, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, India, and all 27 member nations of the European Union, the LTTE's three-decade reign of terror in Sri Lanka serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of extremist violence. Origins and Rise of a Terror Network Founded in 1976 by Velupillai Prabhakaran, the LTTE emerged from earlier militant groups established in the 1970s . What began as a small outfit of 40-50 members in the early 1980s evolved into one of the world's most sophisticated and tightly organized insurgent groups. The organization's transformation into a terror network accelerated following the 1983 ethnic riots, which the LTTE e...
