Modi trying to prevent disruption in Bangladesh-India relations: Tripura minister
He said the Indian government will continue its efforts to introduce direct flights between Agartala and Chattogram, given the current circumstances in Bangladesh
Transport and Tourism Minister of India's Tripura state, Sushanta Chowdhury, has said that no matter which government comes and goes in Bangladesh, the leaders are trying to prevent disruption in bilateral and diplomatic relations between India and its neighbouring country.
"Our prime minister Narendra Modi is trying, and I hope the Chief Adviser of Bangladesh Dr Muhammad Yunus will do so too," said Sushanta at a press briefing at Mahakaran in Tripura's Agartala last evening (31 August).
He said the Indian government will continue its efforts to introduce direct flights between Agartala and Chattogram, given the current circumstances in Bangladesh.
"We strongly believe that our relations with Bangladesh will improve, although it's still early to comment on this matter. We are taking advance preparations and hope that the Agartala-Chattogram flights will begin soon," Sushanta said.
Local journalists and government officials were present at the press briefing.
