Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Yao Wen today said that China commitment to develop Dhaka-Beijing relations remains unchanged no matter what changes have taken place in the domestic situation of Bangladesh.
“China is looking forward to working closely with Bangladesh to cement our traditional friendship, deepen friendly exchanges and mutually-beneficial cooperation in various areas,” he said, according to a press release issued by the Chinese embassy here.
The envoy made remarks while he along with visiting Chinese naval fleet Qi Jiguang and Jing Gangshan commanders called on Chattogram Naval Area Commander Rear Admiral Masud Iqbal, Bangladesh Navy Fleet Commander Rear Admiral Md Moinul Hassan, and Chittagong Port Authority Chairman Rear Admiral S M Moniruzzaman in Chattogram here.
A rare deluge of rainfall left blue lagoons of water amid the palm trees and sand dunes of the Sahara desert, nourishing some of its driest regions with more water than they had seen in decades.
Southeastern Morocco desert is among the most arid places in the world and rarely experiences rain in late summer.
The Moroccan government said two days of rainfall in September exceeded yearly averages in several areas that see less than 250 millimetres (10 inches) annually, including Tata, one of the areas hit hardest. In Tagounite, a village about 450 kilometres (280 miles) south of the capital, Rabat, more than 100 millimetres (3.9 inches) was recorded in a 24-hour period.

Also, a legal challenge in an international court was likely to fail without strong evidence of wrongdoing, the source added.
The biggest cattle market in the southwest region, in “Sat mile” (7 Miles) in Sharsha Upazila of Jashore, is running without a lease.

Jamal Uddin, a local resident, said that the lease of Sat Mile cattle market in Baganchra ended on April 13 this year.
After that, Baganchra Union Awami League general secretary Elias Kabir Bakul and Kaiba Union Awami League president Hasan Firoz Tinku illegally ran the market without any lease.
