China reiterates offer to help build Sonadia deep seaport

China has reiterated its willingness to help Bangladesh build a deep seaport at Sonadia in Chittagong.

Wan Daning, president of Yangshan Deepwater Port Authority of China, expressed the intention to foreign minister Dipu Moni on Tuesday, according to a foreign ministry press release.

Dipu Moni, who is now in China on a week-long official visit, on Thursday visited the Yangshan port, a mega project of about $10 billion, built on a reclaimed island and connected with the mainland by a 35-kilometre sea bridge. Wan Daning briefed her about the facilities. 

Dipu Moni arrived in Shanghai on Wednesday on her way to Beijing for an official meeting with her Chinese counterpart Yang Jiechi. The meeting is scheduled to take place on June 21.
