Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wednesday returned home from India boasting cent per cent success of her Delhi mission as she said a new horizon of friendship and economic development now opened up through accords on many major matters, reports UNB.
Talking to her party senior leaders and journalists on her arrival at the airport, she said it has been proved that if democratic system is in place, many things can be done very easily.
"We have reached understanding on many subjects for socioeconomic development," said Hasina, who came back to a hearty reception by her party faithful and admirers after striking a number of agreements with India - ranging from trade and transit to terrorism and cross-border crime.
Referring to the three agreements related to crimes and terrorism, Hasina stressed establishment of peace in South Asia and said: "Our position against terrorism is crystal clear."
The Prime Minister said women and children trafficking, arms smuggling must be stopped - and it needs more understanding.
She noted that if democratic process continues, poor people will come out of the cycle of poverty in this region.
About her visit to Ajmer Sharif shrines, Hasina said she prayed for the wellbeing of the people.
The PM said she would make a statement in parliament on the outcome of her visit to India.
Showing the Indira Gandhi Peace Award to her party leaders, Hasina said the award money will be donated to the Bangabandhu Trust that provides stipend for poor students, for treatment of those wounded in grenade attacks and for healthcare.
