NEW DELHI: Bangladesh foreign minister A K Abdul Momen called for speedy resolution of the Teesta water sharing issue. He also asked India to build a road between ‘Mujibnagar’ in India to Dhaka.
Bangladesh also asked India to ensure the return of Rohingya refugees back to Myanmar before they became a huge security problem for the region. Foreign secretary Harsh Shringla reviewed bilateral relations with his counterpart Masud bin Momen on Tuesday, kicking off a two-day visit to Bangladesh, in preparation for the first visit by President Ram Nath Kovind, who is expected to be in Dhaka on December 16.
A press statement by its foreign ministry said Bangladesh had asked for “early signing of the Teesta water sharing agreement and equitable comprehensive water sharing agreement for other common rivers” during the foreign minister’s meeting with Shringla on Tuesday. Shringla is expected to call on PM Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday as well as transport minister and leader of Awami League, Obaidul Quader.
Shringla was told to ensure seamless supply of Covishield, which have been purchased “through MoU signed between Serum Institute of India and BEXIMCO Pharmaceuticals of Bangladesh”.
