Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who is on a two-day visit to New Delhi, has called for dialogue as a way to reduce challenges being faced by both sides in their activities related to economic development cooperation.

"We could exchange our experiences and the challenges we are experiencing for our economic development. And we could resolve those through dialogues," she said as Indian external affairs minister S Jaishankar called on her.

In the last ten years, bilateral ties have reached such a height where it could be taken to a new chapter, and “that would be in done in the areas of trade”, Jaishankar was quoted as saying by principal secretary to Hasina M Tofazzel Hossain Miah.

India wants to work more with Bangladesh in logistics, energy and connectivity, Miah said.

Jaishankar urged Hasina to take a new role for the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC), and hoped for her presence at the next BIMSTEC meeting in September in Thailand.

Strengthening BIMSTEC would benefit Bangladesh in terms of trade, connectivity and digitalization, both the leaders agreed, a Bangladesh news agency reported.
