India wants to pursue relations with Bangladesh in a constructive and stable way, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri has said.

He came up with his country’s interest at a press briefing in Washington following the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday.

When asked about Trump’s comment on Bangladesh that the USA had no role in the country’s changeover, the foreign secretary replied that the issue of Bangladesh was discussed between the two leaders.

Prime Minister Modi shared his views and concerns about recent developments in Bangladesh and how India sees the situation, he said.

He added, “We hope that the situation in Bangladesh will also move forward in a direction where we can pursue relations in a constructive and stable way with them. But there are concerns about that situation. Prime Minister Modi shared those views with President Trump.”
