PM Hasina’s Delhi Visit Energizes Bangladesh-India Relations.

National

Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who was in India just a fortnight ago to attend the swearing-in of the Narendra Modi government, was back in New Delhi on June 21-22 on a bilateral state visit, which was the first by a foreign leader after the inauguration of Modi’s third term as prime minister. The most notable outcome of the visit was a rail connectivity agreement between the two countries that will allow India to use Bangladesh’s rail network to transport goods to its northeast. India has also agreed to extend transit facilities to Nepal and Bhutan for Bangladeshi goods through its railway networks.


      Bangladesh also has given its approval for India to send its experts to evaluate the Teesta River Project.

      Bangladesh’s import payments data shows a jump in petroleum product imports.
