West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has written to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi informing him that she wants to cooperate with the central government to settle the Teesta and LBA issues with Bangladesh, according to Indian media.
Kolkata’s Ananda Bazar Potrika reported that Mamata wrote to Modi to let him know she was not against the Teesta deal with Bangladesh.
In a letter written after her recent Dhaka visit, Mamata described the outcome of her trip as “positive,” UNB reports.
Indian media also reported that Mamata is likely to meet Modi on March 10 – her first meeting with the prime minister – and is expected to discuss economic issues concerning her state and Bangladesh-India relations.
During her recent visit to Bangladesh, Mamata promised to cooperate on the Teesta Water Accord and the Land Boundary Agreement (LBA) between the two countries.
The Ananda Bazar report said the Indian prime minister wants to visit Dhaka in April.
