"Many new frontiers of cooperation alongside all traditional areas have been identified, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic," she added.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that last year "was a historic one for the Bangladesh-India relationship, marked by celebrations of epochal events and engagements at the highest levels."
"We look forward to working with India in the next fifty years and beyond, towards realising the shared vision of building a peaceful and prosperous region," the premier said.
