Information and Broadcasting Minister Zahir Uddin Swapon on Wednesday said they are eagerly waiting for a positive outcome in terms of Bangladesh-India relations.

Minister Swapon referred to Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Dinesh Trivedi’s meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held in New Delhi on Tuesday.

Talking to reporters after a programme in the city, the Information Minister recalled what the High Commissioner said after his courtesy meeting with Prime Minister Tarique Rahman on Monday.

“There are no issues between the two countries that can not be resolved,” Swapon said, quoting the Indian High Commissioner. “We are eagerly waiting for a positive outcome," he said.

The High Commissioner met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Tuesday and shared the message he carried from Dhaka after his three important meetings with the Bangladesh leadership.

Trivedi sought guidance from the Indian Prime Minister on further strengthening the multifaceted and enduring relationship between the two neighbours in a constructive manner with a people-centric approach, the source said.

The High Commissioner is expected to return to Dhaka on Friday, a diplomatic source told UNB.

Responding to a question during a regular briefing on Tuesday in New Delhi, Spokesperson at the Ministry of External Affairs Randhir Jaiswal said they had earlier in February invited the Prime Minister of Bangladesh to visit India.

“And, subsequent to that, we have also invited the Prime Minister of Bangladesh to visit India for the BRICS summit. On both these invitations, I will give you an update as and when I have,” Jaiswal said.

The Indian High Commissioner reached New Delhi on Monday after holding three meetings in Dhaka, which were seen as further consultations amid efforts to engage constructively to take forward relations between the two neighbours.

He had separate courtesy meetings with Prime Minister Tarique Rahman and Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed at the Secretariat on Monday.

The High Commissioner also met Foreign Minister Dr Khalilur Rahman on Sunday at State Guest House Padma.

During the courtesy meeting with the Prime Minister, Dinesh Trivedi conveyed greetings from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Tarique Rahman and the intent to work together with the government and the people of Bangladesh in a "positive, constructive and forward-looking" manner.

They exchanged views on matters of mutual interest and discussed avenues for further strengthening bilateral relations between India and Bangladesh with a people-centric approach.

During his meeting with Home Minister Salahuddin, they discussed areas of common interest, including security cooperation between the two countries and ways to further strengthen bilateral relations.

The High Commissioner conveyed India’s willingness to strengthen people-centric cooperation in all domains, based on mutual interest, mutual benefit, and mutual sensitivities.
