Assistant High Commissioner of India in Chittagong Dr Rajeev Ranjan has said India and Bangladesh are very special partners.
"India's partnership with Bangladesh stands out as a role model in the region for neighbourly relations. This tie can be strengthened through educational and research exchanges," he added.
Dr Rajeev was speaking at the opening ceremony of the week-long "International training workshop on companion animal nutrition and small animal reproduction" at the Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (CVASU) Friday.
CVASU Vice-Chancellor Dr Goutam Buddha Das and Madras Veterinary College (MVC) Dean Dr R Karunakaran were also present.
CVASU students have been doing internships at MVC since 2002.
During Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's India visit in 2017, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was again signed between the two institutions for educational exchanges.
