In Dhaka, PM eyes power, connectivity

New Delhi: Describing Bangladesh as an ‘exceptional neighbour’, India on Friday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘historic’ visit there from today will help the two countries to consolidate and deepen cooperation in key areas of power, energy and connectivity. Briefing reporters on Modi’s visit to Dhaka, Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar said the two sides will exchange the instruments of ratification on the Land Boundary Agreement (LBA), recently passed by Parliament to settle the 41-year- old border dispute. The visit is likely to see the signing of 20 agreements.
