Foreign Secretary Ambassador Masud Bin Momen on Sunday hosted a farewell lunch for outgoing Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Vikram Kumar Doraiswami.
During the farewell speech, the foreign secretary called him a true friend of Bangladesh.
"A career-defining honour to have served my country in this most vital and vibrant relationship," said the Indian envoy.
The envoy added the foreign secretary has been a gracious and helpful partner, whose gentle humour and friendship he will miss.
Pranay Kumar Verma, now the Indian ambassador to Vietnam, has been appointed as the next Indian high commissioner to Bangladesh.
Verma is expected to take up the assignment shortly.
