He noted that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Bangladesh’s newly elected Prime Minister Tarique Rahman following his electoral victory. Subsequently, Om Birla attended the swearing-in ceremony and delivered a letter from Modi expressing India’s support for a democratic, development-oriented, and inclusive Bangladesh.

Jaiswal added that New Delhi aims to expand cooperation with Dhaka in trade, diplomacy, and other sectors, building on the longstanding historical ties between the two nations.

Addressing visa operations, he said India will hold discussions with the Bangladesh government to resolve related issues gradually.
