“(The) CNS apprised the PM regarding the progress of ongoing bilateral maritime engagements b/n the Indian Navy & the Bangladesh Navy,” the Navy added.
Sheikh Hasina said the India-Bangladesh relationship is a “model” and an “example” for others as both the countries have resolved many problems through dialogue. In this regard, she referred to the solution of land boundaries and maritime boundaries between Bangladesh and India.
Admiral Tripathi is on a four-day official visit to Bangladesh. The visit is aimed at consolidating bilateral defence relations between the two countries and exploring new avenues for Naval cooperation.
India and Bangladesh share bonds of history, language, culture, and a multitude of other commonalities. The excellent bilateral ties reflect an all-encompassing partnership based on sovereignty, equality, trust, and understanding that goes far beyond a strategic partnership, the Navy added.
