Water sharing and management of trans-boundary rivers will dominate today s Bangladesh-India summit to be led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi, said officials.
Quick implementation of the projects under Indian Line of Credit (LoC), Covid-19 vaccine cooperation, regional connectivity and border security will be among other important agendas from the Bangladesh side, they said.
On Sunday, Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen said, We will raise all the big issues, including water and border security, at the virtual summit.
Meanwhile, a diplomatic source in Delhi said Dhaka would push for the signing of Teesta Water Sharing Agreement that has been pending for long, and seek Indian support for Rohingya repatriation as failure in this regard could create regional instability.
