Any perception that India is not interested in Bangladesh's development should be dismissed as a conspiracy theory, Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Vikram Doraiswami said yesterday.
"Sometimes there is a sense that there is a lot of mistrust about our [Indo-Bangla] relations. Let me say categorically that a strong, stable, prosperous, flourishing Bangladesh is in India's fundamental national interest. Your success is the best thing that can happen to us," he said.
"Therefore, all the ideas that we are somehow not interested in Bangladesh's development, you can please dismiss them as conspiracy theories," Doraiswami said at a DCAB (Diplomatic Correspondents Association of Bangladesh) talk at the capital's Jatiya Press Club.
