Planning Minister MA Mannan on Monday said Bangladesh will not get into a debt trap as the country takes foreign loans considering all aspects.
"There's no fear for Bangladesh to get into debt trap," he said while addressing a webinar, reports UNB.
The minister noted that foreign currency reserve of the country is growing with lower rate of borrowing considering the size of GDP.
He hoped that the bilateral relations between Bangladesh and China will be strengthened further.
Mannan also hoped that the investment of Chinese companies in Bangladesh will increase with an improved relation between the two countries.
The planning minister said that the Chinese government should take all necessary steps to help Bangladesh students, who got stuck here due to Covid-19 to return to China for continuing their studies.
