NEW DELHI: The bilateral talks between
Bangladesh PM Sheikh
Hasina and PM
Narendra Modi on Tuesday will be her 13th meeting with him since 2015. The two leaders will review bilateral cooperation in a range of areas, including security, defence trade and commerce, power and energy, transport and connectivity, science and technology, rivers and maritime affairs.
Asked about Bangladesh's ties with China, Hasina said her government followed a policy of "friendship with all, malice to none". "And I always feel that yes, if there is any problem which is between China and India but I don't want to put my nose into that. I want development of my country and because India is our next-door neighbour, we have a very good relationship. We had many bilateral problems, it's true, but we solved many problems... you know that," she said, as per ANI.
"My point is we should focus on our people. How to give them a better life? How to improve their life? And I'm always saying we have only one enemy. That is poverty. So let us work together," she said. She thanked India for its help during the pandemic and also for evacuating Bangladesh nationals from Ukraine.
