An agreement in this regard was reached at the ministerial level meeting in Beijing Monday under the purview of the bilateral MOU on Cooperation in Water resources.

Water Resources Minister Hafiz Uddin Ahmed led the Bangladesh delegation while

the Chinese side was led by Wang Shucheng, Minister for Water Resources.

The two ministers agreed to establish a fast mode of communication for transferring the data.

The meeting decided that the designated agencies on both sides would soon work out the modalities for sharing data on the Brahmaputra river.

The Chinese side offered to share their expertise and technology in flood control and water resources management in comparable situations in Bangladesh.

The minister-level meeting will be followed up by a meeting at the secretary-level to determine some specific projects in water resources utilisation and management.
