Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has offered condolences to Chinese President Xi Jinping over the death of Jiang Zemin, who led the country’s government for a decade from 1993.
Jiang died on Wednesday in his home city of Shanghai of leukemia and multiple organ failure at the age of 96.
Hasina expressed “deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathies” to Xi on behalf of the people and government of Bangladesh and on her own behalf for the “sad demise” of Jiang, the press wing of her office said in a statement on Thursday.
