Indian High Commissioner-designate to Bangladesh Vikram Kumar Doraiswami on Monday said he would work on strengthening partnership with Bangladesh for mutual benefit, reports UNB.

"Bangladesh is the nearest neighbour and friend of India. I will work on how the partnership with Bangladesh can be enhanced," he told reporters stepping into Bangladesh.

The Indian diplomat said he would listen to people's expectations in Bangladesh and convey those messages to their leadership.

He said the Indian Northeast States are important for building stronger friendship between the two countries.

Doraiswami laid emphasis on enhancing trade and commerce through utilising river and road communication.

"I'm delighted to get the opportunity to work for further improvement of our relations," he said.
