The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi welcomes the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Ms. Sheikh Hasina, on her arrival, at Air Force Station Palam, in New Delhi on April 07, 2017. "I firmly believe that it is only my government and Excellency Sheikh Hasina, your government, that can and will find an early solution to Teesta water sharing".
India is our most important neighbour and one of our key development partner.
Referring to the Teesta issue, Modi said the pact is important for India-Bangladesh relationship and expressed hope that the West Bengal chief minister will eventually support it. "I assure you and the people of Bangladesh of our commitment and continuing efforts", he said.
Officials from Prime Minister Hasina's entourage took selfies with Prime Minister Modi. Our doors are open for cooperation, but for this terrorism has to be shunned.

Prime Minister Hasina will give her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi, a leather office bag set, four kilograms of kalojam and rosgolla, two kilograms of sandesh and four kilograms of yogurt.
She also visited Rajghat to pay floral tributes to Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi. "These would include working in the fields of Electronics, Information Technology, Cyber Security, Space exploration, Civil Nuclear Energy, and others areas", Modi said after his talks with Hasina.
However, the pressing issues Bangladesh faces with India seem to have lost steam in the fanfare of this historic visit.

Bapon Das, a boulder supplier for construction projects in Bangladesh said, "We want a train and bus service through this route also as we have a lot of students from Bangladesh coming here to study". This mentality nurtures and inspires terrorism.
