India has special ties with Bangladesh: Kovind in Dhaka.
Dec 16, 2021

President Ram Nath Kovind said on Wednesday that Bangladesh has a 'special place' in India's 'Neighbourhood First' policy as he met the country's top leadership on the first day of his three-day maiden state visit here, further expanding bilateral ties based on sovereignty, equality, trust and understanding that transcend even a strategic partnership.
 
President Kovind, who arrived here earlier in the day at the invitation of his counterpart M Abdul Hamid to attend the golden jubilee celebrations of Bangladesh's independence from Pakistan in 1971, held delegation-level talks with him which was followed by a banquet.
 
'President Kovind @rashtrapatibhvn welcomed by Bangladesh President HE Md. Abdul Hamid for their bilateral meeting at Bangabhaban. Further expanding bilateral ties based on sovereignty, equality, trust and understanding that transcend even a strategic partnership,' ministry of external affairs (MEA) spokesperson Arindam Bagchi tweeted.
 
During his meeting his Hamid, President Kovind 'reiterated that Bangladesh has a special place in India's 'neighbourhood first' policy' and said that India's development partnership with Bangladesh is one of the most comprehensive and wide-ranging ones, according to a statement issued by the Indian President's office.
 
'At the same time, our relationship is mature enough to handle the most complex of problems,' he said.
 
Speaking about trade and connectivity, President Kovind said that connectivity forms an important pillar of India-Bangladesh relations. 'The two countries have much to gain from their geographical proximity,' he said.
 
Noting that Bangladesh is one of India's largest trade partners, he said that New Delhi looks forward to a more organised and seamless trade between the two countries.
 
He noted that there is a lot of scope in partnering in areas like space, nuclear technology, defence, pharmaceuticals and other advanced science and technology fields.
