Dhaka, Delhi to continue working together in future: Hasina writes to Modi

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said Bangladesh and India would continue to work together to realise the collective aspirations of their citizens.

"I am confident (about that)," she said, expressing her thanks to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government for evacuating some Bangladeshi nationals, along with the Indians, who were stranded in Sumy Oblast of war-torn Ukraine.

The wholehearted cooperation that the Indian government has been extending in this regard is a "testament to the unique and enduring relationship" that the two countries have been enjoying over the years, she said in recent letter to Modi.

"I gratefully recall your visit to Bangladesh during the celebration of the Birth Centenary of our Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh MujiburRahman, last year," Hasina mentioned the letter sent on March 15.

She wished Modi good health and a joyous Holi celebration.
