UNB, Meherpur :
Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen on Saturday said Bangladesh’s relations with India and China should not be compared saying Bangladesh emphasizes on its development through cooperation and collaboration.
“Bangladesh’s relations with India is rock-solid and historic while Bangladesh has economic ties with China. We must not compare,” he said emphasising on joint efforts.
Dr Momen made the remarks after visiting Mujibnagar Mukhtijuddha Memorial Complex where he paid tributes placing a wreath.
Foreign Minister’s wife Selina Momen, among others, was present.
The Foreign Minister does not want to bring anything in Bangladesh’s relations from the India-China relations saying it is nothing to do with Bangladesh.
Bangladesh is focusing on its own development, said Dr Momen adding both India and China are Bangladesh’s big trading partners and Bangladesh wants more trade benefits from India.
“Our victory means India’s victory. Our development means India’s development,” he said describing Dhaka-Delhi relations very strong and nothing can create problems in the growing relations.
The Foreign Minister said Bangladesh and India resolved major bilateral issues, achieved progress on water sharing issues and other pending issues will also be resolved.
“There are some issues. We will resolve those. Keep faith in us,” he said.
