Jatiya Sangsad Speaker Dr Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury has called upon journalists of Bangladesh and India to play a constructive role in improving Bangladesh-India relationship.
She said the two countries have addressed many challenges in the past years, including demarcation of maritime and land boundaries, but still there many areas of improvements.
Dr Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury was addressing the inaugural of a seminar titled "Role of Bangladesh-India Relations: Challenges and Prospects" organised by the National Press Club at its auditorium today. Journalists from India and Bangladesh are attending the event.
The two countries signed a number of agreements and MoUs on social, economic, maritime and environmental cooperation, Shirin Sharmin said.
The media can play their roles in helping promote the activities that deepen the bilateral relations, she said.
Indian Journalists' Union President Geetartha Pathan said Bangladesh and India share common history and culture. Though the two countries addressed many problems, some issues like water sharing are still not progressing much.
He said as a lower riparian country, Bangladesh has the right to have equal water of the common rivers but that is not being ensured.
Bangladesh faces immense problems due to flooding that the upper riparian countries India, Nepal or Bhutan do not face, he said.
"I hope the journalists of India and Bangladesh can focus on these issues," he said.
The Daily Star Editor Mahfuz Anam expressed deep gratitude to the contribution of Indian government and people for their support to the Bangladeshis during 1971.
Bangladesh has rightly addressed the security concerns of India and it should continue to do so, he said.
He stressed on addressing water sharing and trade gap. Anam suggested that Bangladesh establishes an India study Centre that can guide the authorities for deepening the relationship.
