Indian foreign ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin has said all the internal issues need to be addressed and resolved by the people of Bangladesh.
He was talking with the press at the airport before the departure of Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj to New Delhi.
“The Indian government will work with the government of Bangladesh,” Syed Akbaruddin said.
Sushma arrived in Dhaka on Wednesday under a goodwill visit, her first trip abroad as the foreign minister.
Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali and Sushma had official talks Thursday and she met President Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Akbaruddin said Sushma had also met BNP chief Khaleda Zia, leader of the opposition Rawshan Ershad and two advisers of the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina – Gowher Rizvi and Mashiur Rahman.
“The external affairs minister has gone back to India and hopes to build on, what we feel is an excellent start in our new governments relationship with Bangladesh,” he said.
Sushma hopes to continue to work with the leadership of Dhaka to take India-Bangladesh relationships forward, he added.
“We took back home with us an understanding that across the widespread spectrum of the Bangladeshi government and society, there is a desire and feeling for greater friendship, greater cooperation and greater interaction with India,” he said.
