Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has expressed deep shock and sorrow at the death of former Indian external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj.
In a condolence message from London on Wednesday, the prime minister said Sushma Swaraj was a good friend of Bangladesh.
“In her death, we have lost a true friend,” PM’s Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim quoted the premier as saying.
Sheikh Hasina said Bangladesh will always remember her contributions in taking the bilateral relationship to a new height.
She also prayed for salvation of the departed soul and conveyed profound sympathy to the bereaved family.
Sushma Swaraj, also a veteran BJP leader, died at the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) in New Delhi last night following a cardiac arrest.
