Verma expressed gratitude for the cooperation extended by the Bangladeshi government during his posting and reiterated New Delhi's intention to deepen engagement with Dhaka.
"India would continue to work closely with both the government and people of Bangladesh to enhance collaboration aligned with shared development priorities and mutual benefit< he says.
