November 24, 2017

BEIJING, Nov 24 (INP): The Chinese Embassy in Bangladesh has warned that Chinese citizens who travel to Bangladesh should raise their safety awareness after receiving calls for help from Chinese workers claiming they were detained in the country. The Chinese workers who went to Bangladesh for work in equipment maintenance and installation claimed that they were detained for several days or even months by their local trading partners over product quality issues and poorly maintaining equipment, the embassy said in a statement on its website. The statement warned that Chinese citizens should travel with companions, make hotel reservations appropriately and inform family and friends of their contact information before visiting Bangladesh, reminding people to seek help from the embassy and police if their freedom is violated due to any dispute. The embassy said it has promptly provided the citizens assistance to protect their legitimate rights and interests. INP/Obd/AJ
