🌟 Imagine a partnership creating half a million jobs and supercharging trade for over a decade. That's the story of Bangladesh and China, says Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, Chief Adviser of Bangladesh's Interim Government, following his trip to the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2025 in Hainan.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
🇧🇩 China has been Bangladesh’s #1 trade partner for 15 straight years
🏭 Nearly 1,000 Chinese firms operate in Bangladesh, powering local economies
💼 550,000+ jobs created—equivalent to employing every resident of Miami 🌴
🗣️ Yunus, who revolutionized microfinance, called China "an inspiration for the whole world" during his Beijing meetings. He emphasized that cross-border collaboration could accelerate renewable energy projects and tech innovation—key themes at this year’s Boao Forum.
🌏 As young professionals hustle in Dhaka’s startups and students study Sino-Bangladesh trade routes, Yunus’s vision hints at a future where "shared growth" bridges continents. With his iconic grassroots economic model, could this be the blueprint for South-South cooperation? 🚀
