‘BD, India must invest for each other’s futures’

Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali on Saturday said Bangladesh and India must invest for each other’s futures and work together to make the best use of India’s northeast’s potential ensuring a win-win situation. “The destinies of our two people are inextricably linked. This is even more relevant for the northeast. We must invest for each other’s futures,” he told a function in the city. Bangladesh Itihash Sammilani arranged the two-day conference titled ‘1971 and North-Eastern Indian States: Historicising and Contemporising Relationship’ at the Abdul Karim Sahitya Bisharad auditorium of Bangla Academy. Speaking as the chief guest, the Foreign Minister said Bangladesh needs to complement India’s endeavour to develop its northeastern states for its own interest, according to a news agency.
