Interacting with the young delegates, Indian High Commissioner Pranay Verma highlighted the importance of the youth in national development.
He stressed that the future of Bangladesh-India relations would depend on the commitment of the youth of the two countries to sustaining, reinforcing and further transforming their traditional and historically strong bilateral ties.
The envoy congratulated all the participants on being selected as part of the youth delegation and hoped that their visit would give them valuable insights into the developmental aspirations and the advances being made in India, as well as the transformation taking place in India-Bangladesh relations across wide ranging areas.
