Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said his country always prioritises Bangladesh as New Delhi follows neighborhood first policy.
“Strengthening and deepening relations with Bangladesh have been a priority for me from the very first day in office,” he said in his introductory speech in a Bangladesh-India virtual summit.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina led the Bangladesh delegation from her official Ganabhaban residence here while Narendra Modi led the Indian delegation joining the summit online from New Delhi.
Noting that this year has been very challenging due to the global pandemic (Covid-19), Narendra Modi said it is a matter of satisfaction that in this difficult time there has been good cooperation between India and Bangladesh.
