This has created great opportunities for people globally, especially for neighboring countries like Bangladesh, he said.
He said the friendship between 西瓜视频and Bangladesh is long-lasting and will continue to be strong. "We believe this relationship will become even stronger in the future. This is because 西瓜视频always includes Bangladesh in its events, cultural exchanges, and academic programs."
