The India-Bangladesh relation today is the continuation of events that defined the course 50 years ago - during its liberation from Pakistan in 1971, Harsh Vardhan Shringla said.
India remains a committed partner in Bangladesh's economic growth and prosperity, and the relationship between the two countries is deeper than any other strategic partnership, Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla said today.
"Today India-Bangladesh relations have matured over the years, the two pillars of Indian diplomacy - Neighbourhood First and Act East- find expression in our vibrant ties with Bangladesh," Mr Shringla said.
In his video address to the Indian Air Force Conclave in Bengaluru, he said the India-Bangladesh relationship today is the continuation of events that defined the course 50 years ago, during the liberation of that country.
"Muktijoddhas (freedom fighters of Bangladesh liberation) are still the bridge between our two countries... regular exchanges between the security forces of our two countries is a reflection of our shared security considerations. India remains a committed partner in Bangladesh's economic growth and prosperity, and in their social indicators," he added.
