Foreign Affairs Adviser Md. Touhid Hossain has suggested that China, particularly Kunming, could be an alternative to India for medical treatment due to its lower costs and India’s current visa restrictions. Bangladesh has requested China to reduce visa fees to facilitate this shift. Additionally, China has agreed to establish a hospital in Bangladesh, with Purbachal proposed as the site. Discussions with China also focused on reducing loan interest rates, extending repayment periods, and signing a deal on the Brahmaputra River, though no talks occurred on the Teesta.
