UNB, Dhaka :
Indian wants to work very closely with Bangladesh to exploit sea resources in the best possible way for enormous economic benefits of the two countries and create a ‘secure and sustainable’ Bay of Bengal and beyond.
“Certainly, I think, that is a sort of cooperation we
want to see,” said High Commissioner to Bangladesh Harsh Vardhan Shringla on Wednesday.
He mentioned that Bangladesh and India reached an amicable settlement of the maritime boundary between the two countries that opened up ‘enormous potential’ of cooperation on blue economy.
The High Commissioner was speaking as the chief guest at the annual conference of the International Business Forum of Bangladesh (IBFB) in a city hotel.
Former Bangladesh Bank governor Dr Mohammed Farashuddin, immediate past FBCCI President Abdul Matlub Ahmad, founding president of IBFB Mahmudul Islam Chowdhury and current president Hafizur Rahman Khan also spoke on the occasion.
Earlier, Dr Farashuddin talked about the potential of exploiting seabed resources and mentioned that India can take the leadership in exploiting ‘very rare and precious’ creators in the deep seawater.
“If can do that, I think, we’ll make a quantum jump in terms of prosperity and wealth accumulation,” he said.
About connectivity, High Commissioner Shringla said both Bangladesh and India can be benefitted enormously with greater connectivity and linkages.
“As we open up with greater linkages I think our opportunities to multiply in many folds.”
The High Commissioner said the impediments of the relationship, in a sense, have been overcome and there are still some which are on the table. “We hope all of these will be addressed sooner rather than later.”
