India-Bangladesh ties becoming a model for South Asia: Ex Ambassador

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a two-day official visit to Bangladesh. His visit holds special significance as both the nations celebrates 50 years of diplomacy and Modi's visit will certainly pave the path for a golden chapter in India-Bangladesh ties. In an exclusive interview with ETV Bharat, India's former High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Ambassador Pinak Ranjan Chakravarty said, "It is certainly a very important signal for Inda' s 'neighbourhood first policy' which Prime Minister Modi had articulated some time back and Bangladesh has been chosen as the first destination. Let us recall that Bangladesh was the first country that received the grant of the COVID vaccines. Clearly, this is a huge signal that India Bangladesh relationships have reached a stage of great maturity, confidence and trust and we can do ample things together in the future."
