India eyes strategic gains in Yunus’ China river plan
Bangladesh’s interim government Chief Adviser, Muhammad Yunus, has embarked on a delicate diplomatic effort by urging China to share a 50-year masterplan for managing Bangladesh’s river and water systems. This request follows Beijing’s decision to construct a colossal hydropower dam on the Yarlung Zangbo River in Tibet, a project that has raised significant concerns in both India and Bangladesh.
Yunus made this appeal during a meeting with China’s Water Resources Minister, Li Guoying, in Beijing on Friday.
