Based on the following speech by amanda (country manager of HBL china) I need you to provide me some interview questions which I can answer from the info in the speech. Make the questions smooth, clear and short- "Ladies and Gentlemen:

Good evening! On behalf of HBL China, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the leaders and colleagues present here tonight for taking the time to attend this event. I would also like to thank Mr. Selim from the HBL Bangladesh for his warm invitation.

Today is May 25th. According to the traditional Chinese solar term, we are currently between Xiaoman (May 21st) and Mangzhong (June 6th). 'Man' means that the grains of summer crops begin to plump and mature, while the word 'Xiao' implies that they still need some time to ripen. After the hard work and field management, we are about to usher in the harvest season of wheat and other crops. Thanks to your unremitting efforts, China and Bangladesh have continuously created new economic and trade vitality in this new era. I sincerely hope that through today's interaction, we can strengthen dialogue, seize opportunities, and jointly achieve a fruitful cooperation in finance and trade under the context of the Belt and Road Initiative that benefits all parties.

China and Bangladesh both have a long history and splendid culture. According to historical records, the exchanges between the two countries can be traced back thousands of years. The development of navigation technology in the 13th century also further narrowed the distance between China and Bangladesh and facilitated trade (especially maritime trade). Today in the 21st century, Chinese entrepreneurs sitting here have come to South Asia and Bangladesh following the Belt and Road Initiative, deeply cultivating investment, trade, infrastructure and other fields, promoting China-Bangladesh cooperation with practical actions. You are the navigators of the new era in the field of economic and trade who deserve your reputation.
Ambassador Yao has just given us a comprehensive review of the cooperation foundation, current situation and future planning between China and Bangladesh from various aspects such as politics, economy and trade. I would like to take this opportunity to report to you on the development of HBL and our participation in the Belt and Road Initiative, as well as the promotion of new era economic and trade exchanges through cross-border connectivity of diversified finance. Of course, all of you present here are experts and pioneers deeply involved in China-Bangladesh investment and economic and trade activities. I hope that today’s speech can stimulate more ideas for exploring new cooperation under the context of the Belt and Road Initiative and high-quality development.

SLIDE 1 (HBL in China+ China desk)
Dear colleagues, as a financial institution rooted in South Asia and with regional representation, HBL has more than 1,700 branches in 15 countries and regions around the world (including the home market), covering major countries and regions along the Belt and Road. Our bank established a representative office in Beijing in 2005 and has successively completed the preparation and opening of Urumqi and Beijing branches with strong support from relevant government departments and regulatory agencies. Currently, HBL is the only financial institution with a branch in Beijing and a RMB business license at the same time in South Asia, the Middle East, Africa and other regions.

Under our bank's overall international business strategy of "Looking East", China enjoys an important strategic position as the "second home market". As the management bank of China, Beijing Branch plays a bridgehead role for Urumqi and Beijing branches. Through synergistic cooperation with other overseas branches and joint cooperation with inter-bank including overseas branches, we provide one-stop financial solutions for Chinese enterprises to go global. In terms of serving Chinese enterprises, we have effectively endowed our bank with market response capability and service capability of efficient bank-enterprise linkage. In addition, our bank's RMB business service capability can also well support the cross-border settlement and financing needs of enterprises derived from RMB internationalization.

SLIDE TWO – BANK OF RELEVANCE / PRESENCE GLANCE
It is worth mentioning that since the Aga Khan Development Fund invested in HBL, both the board of directors and senior management have attached great importance to China's strategic level.

HBL has many years of successful experience in serving Chinese enterprises. It has branches in South Asia, the Middle East Gulf and other places where Chinese institutions are more concentrated to go global. It has experienced Chinese Coverage team. It also has branches and subsidiaries in global financial centers like Singapore and London.

As a financial institution rooted in Bangladesh for many years, the HBL Bangladesh has been committed to expanding closer cooperation with local enterprises and financial institutions from the perspective of diversified financial support such as trade financing and working capital loans.

Within the bank, our strategic goal is to build a "Bank of Relevance" with strong influence in the region. This means that we adhere to customer and market orientation from customer group positioning, product matching, service designing and other aspects. We effectively transform our own advantages along the Belt and Road into value-added services for customer development. In the relevant countries and regions displayed on the PPT, we have accumulated a large number of high-quality Chinese customers and local customers. The supported business directions also effectively cover third-party countries and regions where they are developing.
SLIDE THREE – END TO END RMB SERVICES
For HBL, one of the important measures to implement its global strategy is how to better facilitate bilateral or even regional financial services through its onshore branches and RMB business licenses in China, including the usage scenarios of RMB business. From the PPT, we can see that we can currently achieve an end-to-end RMB service solution by establishing bank-enterprise relationships or cooperation with peer institutions. At the product level, our bank's advantageous products include letters of credit, guarantees and RMB exchange transactions etc. In recent years, business volume has steadily increased. As of the end of the first quarter of 2023, our bank's growth rate in various businesses was more than 35% higher than that of the same period last year. The uncertainty of global political and economic situation in recent years has also prompted everyone to think more about how to more effectively manage business risks and deploy multi-currency settlement channels. From the communication with our customers, enterprises that take action early often have more choices of multi-currency solutions in their business concepts and are more likely to take the initiative in business negotiations.

Today's interaction provides us with a good opportunity to introduce our high-quality financial services such as account services, international settlement, trade financing, project financing, exchange transactions, employee salary management and other diversified categories through the connectivity advantages between China's onshore branches and Bangladesh branches. Provide more convenient cross-border financial service solutions for our enterprise partners and financial institutions.

Many leaders and colleagues present here are participants, practitioners and witnesses of China-Bangladesh bilateral relations development. I hope that everyone present can continue to witness and support cooperation with HBL. It may be through local Bangladesh branches or through cross-border connectivity supported by China's onshore branches to facilitate your financial service needs. It may also be through cooperation with financial institutions present here to facilitate enterprise financial service scenarios with point-to-face advantages. In short, in exploring the road of China-Bangladesh banking-enterprise and peer cooperation, we firmly believe that “Those that do, often achieve. Those that walk, often arrive.”

SLIDE FOUR – CONTACT DETAILS
Dear leaders and colleagues, in order to more effectively support the development of Chinese businesses, HBL Bangladesh has established a dedicated China Desk with a professional team that is familiar with China business, products and markets. Considering the convenience of language, culture and other aspects, Chinese employees have also been specially assigned to the team to facilitate barrier-free communication with customers. After many years of deep cultivation in the Bangladeshi market, the branch has accumulated a deep understanding of the local political, economic and financial environment and believes that it can become a reliable partner for various institutions in their local business expansion.

You can see the contact information of the Chinese team and the local Bangladeshi team displayed on the big screen, including WeChat QR codes. You can scan and add them for easy communication.
