Bangladesh: No chance of Chinese debt trap, says FM Momen

DHAKA, 28 April 2022, (TON): Foreign minister AK Abdul Momen reiterated “there was no scope for Bangladesh to get into Chinese ‘debt trap’ noting that the economists who say such things might have an intention to appease the United States.”

He said Bangladesh has borrowed the highest amount from Japan but nobody talks about it with their only headache about Chinese loan.

He told reporters while responding to a question “we remain very careful. There’s no scope that we’ll fall into debt trap. We cut our coat according to our clothes.”

The Foreign Minister said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina takes decisions through proper scrutiny and analyzing every aspect and in no way Bangladesh should be compared with the Sri Lankan case.

He said ‘‘we don’t know what we hear from you sometimes. You write Bangladesh is falling into the Chinese debt trap. Later, I see that you write completely illusory words.”
