PM pays homage to Chinese revolutionaries

 
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday (9 July) paid tributes at the Monument to the People's Heroes at the Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China.

She paid homage to the Chinese revolutionaries by placing a floral 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 flowers at the Monument on Tuesday afternoon, the Bangladesh Prime Minister stood in solemn silence for some time 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.

Sheikh Hasina is now in Beijing on a four-day bilateral visit to China from July 8 to 11 at the invitation of Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang.
