GUWAHATI, Sept 18: A delegation of 17 trainee officers of Bangladesh Foreign Service Academy, Dhaka along with the Assistant High Commissioner of Bangladesh Dr Shah Mohammad Tanvir Monsur called on Assam Governor Prof Jagdish Mukhi in Raj Bhavan on Sunday.
While interacting with the trainee officers, Prof Mukhi said that India’s relation with Bangladesh is deep-rooted, person to person, more of family relationship and expressed hope that Assam will play a more important role in strengthening this tie in the days to come.
He said that both Assam and Bangladesh are working for mutual interest by strengthening trade, water resources and connectivity.
Hailing Bangladesh for its progress in garment industries, the Governor pointed out that both Assam and Bangladesh can share their expertise in exchanging their respective prosperities.
The Governor also said that Assam has always been very close to Bangladesh. Disruption of connectivity was caused because of the division of the country.
Prof Mukhi said that the medical colleges, cancer care centres, universities, IIT, IIIT, IIM and other centres for excellence in North East can contribute in expanding bilateral ties with Bangladesh.
The Governor further said that greater emphasis should be put on student exchange facilitation programmes and cultural exchanges between Assam and Bangladesh.
The Assistant High Commissioner of Bangladesh Dr Shah Mohammad Tanvir Monsur also acknowledged the gesture and thanked the Governor for the interaction programme.
