NEW DELHI: India’s progress is linked to that of all its neighbours, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today as he along with his Bangladesh counterpart Sheikh Hasina inaugurated Petrapole-Benapole land port which will serve as a key trade route between the two countries.
Addressing via video conferencing the event which was also joined by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, he said Integrated Check Post (ICP) will serve to foster more economic integration and connectivity between India and Bangladesh.
Underlining that economic development and connectivity are very closely linked to each other, Modi said, “India’s progress is linked to progress of all its neighbours.”
He said inauguration of the “biggest land port in South Asia” is a “very important milestone” in the relations between India and Bangladesh.
“Both India and Bangladesh have not only ventured on the path of development but are also marching together,” he said. (AGENCIES)
