Editor's Pick: Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina favours early solution for Teesta

India and Bangladesh signed seven agreements, with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina saying the two countries should resolve all bilateral issues, including the differences over the waters of the Teesta. In a significant beginning in river-water sharing, India and Bangladesh reached an agreement — a first in 28 years — on drawing water from the common border river Kushiyara. After holding bilateral talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the visiting leader described India as the “most important and closest neighbour” that is bound with Bangladesh through 54 common rivers and 4,000 km of border. Welcoming Ms. Hasina, PM Narendra Modi said India would walk beside Bangladesh to defeat the anti-1971 forces. Ms. Hasina also met with President Droupadi Murmu and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday. She has maintained a connection with the Gandhis throughout her tenure as the Prime Minister. During her last visit in October 2019, Ms. Hasina met Sonia Gandhi, her daughter Priyanka Vadra and former PM Manmohan Singh. On Wednesday, Ms. Hasina will hand over Mujib scholarships to 200 family members of the personnel of the Indian military who were killed or wounded during the Liberation War of 1971. She will later travel to Ajmer Sharif. Meanwhile, marking some progress on the delayed implementation of the $500 million defence Line of Credit (LoC) extended by India to Bangladesh, Dhaka recently shared a wish list of military platforms and systems that its armed forces would like to procure from India. The list includes a diverse range of equipment, including a floating dock, and logistics ship and oil tanker for the Bangladesh Navy, among others, as per sources.
