Bangladesh foreign policy absolutely independent

Foreign Minister Dipu Moni yesterday categorically said Bangladesh's foreign policy belongs to Bangladesh exclusively and it is not influenced by anybody.
Disagreeing with the US State Department's view that Bangladesh's foreign and domestic policies are heavily influenced by the region's major powers, particularly India, she said, “Our foreign policy belongs to us exclusively and is run to protect the interest of the people and the state.”
Dipu Moni made the remarks in response to a question about the US State Department, which in its 2012 country report on terrorism on May 30 said Bangladesh's foreign policy is heavily influenced by India.
The foreign minister said Bangladesh-USA bilateral ties are “extremely good, effective, cordial and with full confidence” despite misleading campaign by some quarters.
She said Bangladesh is working closely with the United States and regional countries to deal with regional and international terrorism.
Questions were asked regarding India's win over Bangladesh as India did not pass the Land Boundary Agreement (LBA) and Teesta River water sharing agreement although Bangladesh allowed shipment of Over Dimensional Cargoes (ODC) for Palatana power project and is now allowing shipment of food grains without any fees or charge.
On that matter, Dipu Moni said win-win situation does not mean that, “If we give A, we will get B in exchange.” She claimed that Bangladesh has achieved duty-free and quota free access to Indian market and tariff and para-tariff barriers were removed, which greatly expanded the volume of trade, and US$1 billion Line of Credit (LoC) for infrastructure development of Bangladesh.
Of the LoC, she said US$200 million was given as grant. She claimed that Bangladesh would be able to import 100MW from Palatana project in Tripura.
