Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday commended the “remarkable progress” Bangladesh has made in every sector under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. His praise came when Bangladesh’s outgoing High Commissioner to India Syed Muazzem Ali made a farewell call on him at his office.
During the 30-minute meeting, Modi conveyed his regard to Hasina and his appreciation for inviting him to Bangladesh for the centenary celebration of the birth of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman next year. “I look forward to attending the ceremony,” Modi told the High Commissioner.
He also thanked the outgoing high commissioner for the “contributions he has made in promoting the India-Bangladesh relations, seen as a golden chapter, during his five-year tenure,” the High Commission said in a statement. The envoy presented the Premier a framed Nakshi Kantha, which represents a traditional Bengali craft.
