Outgoing Indian High Commissioner in Dhaka Vikram Kumar Doraiswami has said the Bangladesh-India relationship is a “train” that must keep moving to do more great things together, reports UNB.
“That energy needs to be carried through,” he said.
Doraiswami said there are many great things that the two neighbouring countries have achieved together in the past decade which should be celebrated.
The envoy made the remarks while addressing a reception at the High Commission of India in Dhaka on Thursday (September 15).
The outgoing envoy said the people of Bangladesh and India are connected through hearts and souls, and it is stronger than blood relations.
Though the relationship between Bangladesh and India will have challenges, it is a bonding built with the connection between hearts.
Doraiswami also urged his friends in Bangladesh to always look at the glass as “half full”.
“We have, of course, things that we need to do together,” he said.
The High Commissioner is likely to leave Dhaka on September 18, wrapping up his “engaging” tenure in Bangladesh.
Doraiswami has been appointed as the next High Commissioner of India to the United Kingdom.
