Bangladesh halted issuing visas on arrival to Chinese nationals amid coronavirus scare earlier in February.
Jiming said on Wednesday China had welcomed the halt on on-arrival-visa as Bangladesh’s decision had been “logical” considering the spread of the virus from China.
He was speaking at a news conference at the Padma Bridge Project Office in Dhaka’s Keraniganj on Wednesday.
Some Chinese officials of the project were stuck at the epicentre of the outbreak in Hubei province, he said.
Moreover, some Chinese companies related to the largest infrastructure project of Bangladesh also stopped their activities due to the outbreak, “slightly hampering” the project, the ambassador added.
