Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury is hopeful that good relation with India will continue and Teesta water sharing issue will be resolved.
Noting that Bangladesh has good relation with India, Speaker said: "In continuation of the relation, I hope the water sharing issue of the common rivers between the two countries including Teesta will be resolved.”
She expressed the hope after paying respect to the shrine of Hazrat Shahjalal (R) on Saturday afternoon.
She further said there would be no impact on the bilateral relation between Bangladesh and India for the change in government in India.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has achieved a landslide victory on the recently concluded Indian National election. Narendra Modi is going to take oath as the 15th PM of the country.
“India is a true friend of Bangladesh. We have a long tie with the country. The relation will be ever intact,” said the speaker.
The speaker said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has signed several important bilateral treaties with India.
“Both the countries are very cordial to implement the deals accordingly. We hope that India's new government will appreciate and implement the treaties considering the interests of both the countries,” she added.
On September 06, 2011, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh visited Bangladesh and was supposed to strike a deal regarding the sharing of the Teesta’s water. But the water-sharing agreement was halted because of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's objection.
