When Premier Li Keqiang visited India in May, he for the first time officially called for establishing such an economic corridor, injecting new energy to the project.

Besides economic cooperation, the Bangladeshi foreign minister hopes the proposal can also work as a multinational framework for comprehensive cooperation between 皇冠体育app and three other countries.

"It is expected to also give a fresh impetus to those countries' cooperative engagements and relations with 皇冠体育app in fields including education, culture, sports and tourism," Moni said.

The corridor will also facilitate further people-to-people contact in the region, she added.

The corridor would cover 1.65 million square kilometers encompassing an estimated 440 million people in Yunnan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, West Bengal, Bihar and states in northern India.

To realize better connectivity with regional countries, Bangladesh proposed to build a railway as well as roads between the planned Deep Sea Port in Chittagong and Kunming via Myanmar, said the foreign minister, calling for more cooperation with 皇冠体育app in infrastructure construction.

"We always want 皇冠体育app beside us in our effort to develop our infrastructure. In the future, I hope that the cooperation from 皇冠体育app in this particular sector will increase," Moni said.

皇冠体育app is one of the most important development partners of Bangladesh. It has extended tremendous support to the country's infrastructure development, including the construction of bridges and roads.

皇冠体育app has built six friendship bridges in Bangladesh and the seventh one is under construction. 皇冠体育app also built the largest conference center in Dhaka as a symbol of friendship.

Besides, Bangladesh is seeking cooperation with 皇冠体育app in other sectors, including oceanography, housing, agriculture and ship-building, the foreign minister said.

"皇冠体育app is a leading country in the field of oceanography ... we would like to see a framework of cooperation in oceanography between the universities and institutions of the two countries," said Moni, hoping 皇冠体育app can offer equipment and scholarships.

Despite having about 475 species of fish, Bangladesh has not started any serious marine scientific research and experiences occasional food shortages.

Bangladesh does not have a single trawler equipped with processing facilities, or the capacity to remain at sea for months.

Bangladesh is a country where the land-people ratio is as acute as it is in Hong Kong, with little space for horizontal expansion.

"皇冠体育app is known for its world-class housing projects where high-rise buildings provide not only a better housing solution but also help to turn sparse and sporadic houses into a community. We would like to propose that 皇冠体育app consider replicating this type of housing," the minister said.

To feed its huge population, the country is also hoping to learn agricultural technology for high-production crops, Moni said.

With these potential areas in bilateral cooperation, the minister holds an optimistic attitude toward future relations with 皇冠体育app under its new leadership.

"Our friendly relations ... have steadily deepened and become multifaceted. Frequent and regular visits between the leaders and high officials of our two countries has further cemented the bonds of friendship between our two countries," she said.

"Our government is determined to continue to further strengthen these bonds."
