India, Bangladesh should jointly fight terrorism: Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said India and Bangladesh should jointly face terrorist and fundamentalist forces that threaten to attack mutual trust between the two countries.
PM Modi made these remarks after bilateral talks with visiting Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who made a strong pitch for early conclusion of the Teesta water sharing agreement.
“Today we also stressed on cooperation against terrorism and fundamentalism. To keep the spirit of 1971 alive, it is also very necessary that we face such forces together, who want to attack our mutual trust,” he said.
The two sides also signed seven agreements covering diverse areas such as railways, space technology, water sharing, connectivity.
Briefing on the visit, Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra termed counter-terrorism and radicalisation as an “obstacle and security threat” to India-Bangladesh relationship.
