A three-member delegation of the Chinese Embassy led by Ambassador Li Jiming visited the Teesta Barrage area in Lalmonirhat's Hatibandha on Suday.
Replying to a question, the ambassador said they intend to excavate the Teesta river during his tenure here.

He added that he was visiting the river to further the process of a feasibility study for the Teesta megaproject proposed by the Chinese side to their Bangladeshi counterparts in government
"We'll decide the timeframe of the project once our engineers complete their inspection. I hope that we'll be able to start the Teesta Mega project within a very short time. It's not only good news for the northern people but is also a matter to be proud of for all Bangladeshis," added the ambassador.
