SANTINIKETAN: The last few years have been a golden chapter in India-Bangladesh relationship when complicated issues of land and coastal boundaries were resolved, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said here today.
Echoing his views, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who inaugurated the newly-constructed Bangladesh Bhavan here along with Modi, voiced hope that the remaining issues will also be resolved in a “friendly atmosphere”.
The Bangladesh Bhavan is a centre dedicated to cultural cooperation between the two countries and has been built on Visava Bharati University campus.
Earlier, Modi, who is the ‘acharya’ or chancellor of the Visva Bharati, shared the dais with Hasina on the occasion of the 49th convocation of the central university here.
He greeted Hasina in Bengali and said his Government would take initiatives to ensure that the youth of both the countries get to know about the cultural contributions made by eminent personalities from the two nations.
After the inauguration of the Bangladesh Bhavan, he said, “A golden chapter is being written in the relationship of India and Bangladesh. Complicated issues related to land boundary and coastal boundary, which seemed impossible to solve at one point of time, were finally resolved.” (AGENCIES)
