Minister of State for External Affairs Meenakashi Lekhi extended felicitations on the occasion of Bangladesh’s 54th National Day as she gave a resounding tribute to the enduring camaraderie between India and Bangladesh.
“Bangladesh is our largest development partner and our biggest trade partner.”
“It is an honour to stand with our friendly neighbour, Bangladesh, a country intertwined with us in myriad ways.”
“And this warm exchange has led to further exchanges between our two countries and bonding which binds the people and the countries together. And this interconnectivity needs to reflect itself in the next generation.”
“As the High Commissioner also mentioned that there is zero tolerance for terrorism which we all know come from certain areas… and that cooperation can be furthered whether it’s a digital infrastructure and recently we’ve also entered into an agreement that the trade between the two countries will be done in INR which is also going to link our economies further and deeply.”
“I wish Bangladesh through the High Commissioner the very, very best on behalf of our government, on behalf of Indian people and on my own behalf.”
