Bangladesh PM returns bagfuls from India |
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday met for bilateral talks and jointly inaugurate three projects to strengthen ties in diverse areas including defence and security, trade and connectivity. The two countries signed 7 pacts in core areas such as transport, connectivity, capacity building and culture. Three projects involving the import of LPG from Bangladesh were also launched during the meeting. The Bangladesh PM had last week met PM Modi in New York and said that the NRC has become a matter of `great concern` for Bangladeshis. The Indian PM is learnt to have assured his Bangladeshi counterpart and said that there is nothing to be worried about since the two countries shared good relations. The issue of implementation of the National Register of Citizens in Assam was also likely discussed during the meeting between the two leaders. On Thursday, the Bangladesh Prime Minister said she was satisfied with Modi`s assurance that her country will not be perturbed over the implementation of NRC in Assam. According to a report, Hasina was quoted as saying “I had a talk with PM Modi. Everything is okay,” PM Modi said, "I am happy that today`s talks will further reinvigorate ties between India and Bangladesh."
