Dhaka: The Chinese government is set to provide 192 full scholarships to Bangladeshi students for the academic year 2016-2017.

China has been providing 162 full government scholarships to Bangladeshi students every year since 2013 in line with the development of bilateral relations between China and Bangladesh.

The Chinese government also has offered many opportunities for short-term or long-term training every year. In 2015, nearly 1000 Bangladeshi went to study in China under the sponsorship of the Chinese government.

On 25 May, 2015, Vice Premier Ms. Liu Yangdong pledged that the Chinese government would provide 100 more full scholarships for bachelor, master and doctoral courses in the following 3 years, among which 30 scholarships will be for the academic year of 2016-2017.
