China has defended its cooperation with Bangladesh on the Teesta River project. It said the project is meant to improve people's lives and is not aimed at any other country. China also said its work with Bangladesh should not face outside influence. India has raised concerns because the Teesta basin is close to the Siliguri Corridor, an important route linking northeast India with the rest of the country. Bangladesh and China have agreed to carry out a technical study of the project. India is closely watching the development due to its strategic and security importance.
