Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today paid glowing tributes
at the Monument to the People's Heroes at the Tian'anmen Square here.
She
paid homage to the Chinese heroes by placing a wreath at the Monument.
The
national anthems of the two countries were played on the occasion while the
bugle sounded the last post.
After
laying the wreath at the Monument in the afternoon, the prime minister stood in
solemn silence for some times as a mark of profound respect to the memory of
the Chinese revolutionary heroes.
Earlier
on her arrival at the square, a smartly turned out contingent of the Chinese
Armed Forces gave the Bangladesh premier the state salute.
The
prime minister is now in Beijing on a four-day bilateral visit to China from
July 8 to 11 at the invitation of her Chinese counterpart Li Qiang.
