Teesta water sharing still at assurance level: Shahriar
GBNEWS24DESK//
India has again assured Bangladesh of resolving the issue of Teesta water sharing, State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md. Shahriar Alam said on Tuesday.
“We are still at the assurance level. We believe that the commitment that India gave us will be delivered, though it may take time,” he said, reports UNB.
The state minister said this at a press briefing held at Bangladesh House in New Delhi after bilateral talks between visiting Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.
He, however, said that the big achievement of this tour of the PM Hasina has been the MoU on the withdrawal of water from bordering Kushiyara River by Bangladesh.
This was among the seven MoUs signed between the two countries on the second day of Hasina’s four-day state visit to India on Tuesday.
