Bangladesh and India have emphasised that the two neighbouring countries need to work together in promoting bilateral relations for the welfare of their people.
This was observed on Wednesday while Indian high commissioner Pranay Verma paid a courtesy call on Bangladesh’s interim government foreign affairs adviser Md Touhid Hossain at the foreign ministry in Dhaka, a foreign ministry’s press release said.
During the meeting, the two sides discussed a range of bilateral issues, with particular emphasis on the resumption of regular visa processing by the Indian High Commission.
Both the foreign adviser and the Indian envoy underscored the importance of activating the regular bilateral mechanisms between the two countries.
Touhid referred to his meeting with Indian external affairs minister S Jaishankar on the sidelines of the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York in this regard.
They also explored opportunities for enhanced cooperation in trade, ongoing development projects and fostering stronger people-to-people connections between Bangladesh and India.
