He disclosed the information while addressing a press conference at the Chinese Embassy on Wednesday evening. 

The adviser said that the cultural bond between Bangladesh and China will create new dynamism in the bilateral relations between the two countries. 

Referring to the recent drone show with the support of China, he said, “Drone is a new medium for telling stories, and it’s a fusion of technology and art and has become one of the important media to create a narrative.”

Recently arranged six drone shows with the help of China have been immensely popularised among the young generation, he said.
