Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader has described India as Bangladesh’s political friend and China as its development partner.

“China has contributed significantly to the development of many sectors in our country. Why will we not accept support from China for the sake of the country’s overall progress?” Quader said yesterday.

He made the remarks after inaugurating a seven-day “Hilly Fruits Fair-2024” at the Sheikh Hasina Chittagong Hill Tracts Historic Protection and Research Centre in the city’s Baily Road area.
