A 14-member delegation from China’s Yunnan Minzu University arrived at the Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protishtan (BKSP) today for a two-week exchange training programme.

BKSP Director General Brigadier General Md Saif Ullah welcomed the delegation and exchanged views with its members, according to a press release.

The programme is being held under a memorandum of understanding signed between BKSP and Yunnan Minzu University.

The Chinese delegation comprises 11 cricket trainees, two coaches – one specialising in tai chi and the other in cricket – and an interpreter.

During the programme, BKSP’s specialist coaches will train the 11 participants in cricket techniques and provide practical instruction.

The visiting tai chi coach will also train participants from BKSP’s wushu department.

Officials said the initiative would give athletes and coaches from both institutions opportunities to exchange knowledge, skills, and experience.

They expressed hope that the programme would strengthen cooperation between Bangladesh and China in sports education and training while creating opportunities for further joint sporting activities.
