Indian High Commissioner in Dhaka Pranay Verma recently paid a courtesy call on Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman at the Cabinet Division office in the Bangladesh Secretariat, discussing bilateral affairs with focus on energy cooperation.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting was over, Prime Minister's foreign affairs adviser Humayun Kabir said the present government is keen to forge a new chapter in relations with India, departing from the framework established during former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's tenure.
"The meeting emphasized energy security, with special focus on diesel import through pipelines from India," Kabir said.
"Maintaining positive relations between the two countries makes it possible to resolve many issues. We are optimistic about moving forward with the process of importing energy via pipeline."
The discussions signal both governments' intent to strengthen cooperation in energy supply, infrastructure, and other sectors of strategic importance, amid ongoing efforts to stabilize Bangladesh's energy landscape.
