Upon his arrival at 3pm, the ambassador was welcomed by a lion dance and other Chinese tradition in front of the China Book House (stall no 791-792).
After exchanging greetings, Yao entered the Chinese stall and gave books to children from it.
Later, he visited other stalls on the fair premises of Bangla Academy and Suhrawardy Udyan and bought two books from two stalls.
After visiting the fair, the ambassador shared his feelings with the media about his visit.
He said, “This is the second time I’m visiting this book fair with my wife. I’m very happy to see most of the books written in Bangla which is also an indicator of enriched Bangla culture and literature.
“There are cultural presentations I think this will help to enrich both Bangla and Chinese cultures.”
