In another outreach to Dhaka, Bangladeshi students will get priority in returning to their respective educational institutions in China when the pandemic situation will come under control.

The deputy chief of mission at the Chinese embassy in Dhaka Hualong Yan said this on Monday at a seminar held virtually to mark the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China (CPC), reports UNB.

Association of Bangladesh-China Alumni (ABCA) organized the seminar.

Hualong said the Chinese embassy in Dhaka remains engaged to facilitate the return of Bangladeshi students who have been studying at different universities in China.

He said no students from any country are being allowed to return to Chinese universities now, considering the Covid-19 situation. "Not just Bangladeshi students, students from India, the US and the UK are unable to return to China."

China has already given 2 million doses of its Sinopharm vaccine after the country ran short following India, fighting its own pandemic surge, cut down on  exports of its promised Covishield/Astra Zeneca vaccine.
