Bangladesh stresses on boosting connectivity with India​

February 25, 2022

Bangladesh is focusing on strengthening connectivity with India, especially Assam, through all modes in order to boost trade between the two nations, the neighbouring country’s Information and Broadcasting Minister Hasan Mahmud said on Thursday.

Addressing an Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) event here, he also deliberated on the similarities of food, attire, culture and language between Assam and Bangladesh.

“Bangladesh is focused on improving people-to-people contact and strengthening connectivity to improve trade and business through waterways, railways and airways,” he said.

Chittagong Port has a long historical association with Assam and the region since the British colonial period, Mahmud said.

“The century-old seaport has been redeveloped to handle cargo ships with deeper depths,” he said at an Indian Chambers of Commerce (ICC) event here.

He said the Chittagong Port is nearer to Guwahati compared to Haldia Port of West Bengal and using the former will reduce transportation costs.

“People of Bangladesh and Assam live on the banks of the same river. It is Brahmaputra in Assam and Jamuna in Bangladesh,” he added.

Speaking on the occasion, Assam Industries and Commerce Minister Chandra Mohan Patowary talked about various trade activities that took place prior to independence through present-day Bangladesh.

“The Barak river used to carry vessels from Chittagong and other ports of the then East Bengal to this region. With the formulation of the Act East Policy of Government of India, the disrupted traditional trade routes are gradually being restored and reconnected through the Chittagong and Mongla Ports,” he added.

Patowary requested the Bangladeshi government to offer necessary support and cooperation to increase the trade volume from Assam.

“Bangladesh can take the opportunities of potential sectors of Assam like ethanol, methanol, plastic and hydrocarbon to improve trade and business,” he added.

During the event, an India-Bangladesh trade portal was launched to facilitate the business fraternity of both countries.

The portal has a database of exporters and importers of both Northeast India and Bangladesh and will enable B2B collaborations between buyers and sellers of both countries, allowing business dealings and negotiations between the two sides.

Mahmud later met Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and discussed various issues related to trade and commerce.

“Happy to meet a Bangladeshi delegation comprising Hon I&B Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud, Hon MPs Shaimum Sarwar Kamal & Ms Momtaz Begom, I&B Secy Md Mokbul Hossain, Dy High Commissioner to India Md Nural Islam & Assistant High Commissioner to India Dr Shah Mohammad Tanvir Monsur.

“Assam & Bangladesh share cultural & historical ties, which need to be deepened further through trade & commerce. Chittagong port in Bangladesh holds the key to improving waterways connectivity in NE. We’re thankful to Bangladeshi Govt for cooperation in this regard,” Sarma said in a series of tweets.

Bangladesh stresses on boosting connectivity with India

BD is less interested to make BD-India connections and more interested to pursue India's East-West connection.

This is how BAL wants to please its mentor India.

Garbage initiative.. all this does is get the bhakts off our backs and us out of their crosshairs but for how long ?

 

[Turingsage]

Good. Connectivity is good for all concerned. More trade is good. More cross investments is good. More talk talk is good. More cultural cross currents is good.
All good

What kind of a retard, spineless imbecile of a minister even talks to Assam? These tree dwelling, primitive xenophobic sub-human species deserve extinction by nuking.
What connectivity with these faggots who hate Bangladeshis with a passion?
The fact that Hasan is even meeting these animals is an outrage.

Really, connectivity with Assam of all Indian states?

@Protest_again, where are you when people are name-calling the Assamese people? Do not please hide behind your jungle trees. Come out and bash Bangladesh.

But, the fact remains that the Assamese is a hate-Bangali xenophobic group of jungle dwellers without culture. They should leave Assam and go back to their fatherland in Kunming.

Accompanying this Chetona idiot Hasan Mahmood was Mumtaz Begum, that "singer to the masses" and to me, the great "singing kolbalish". Beche thako ma...some uni from Tamil Nadu gave her an honorary Ph.D. I need to go over there and buy myself one...

Complete with retarded "chotul" tasteless lyrics she calls Marfati and Murshidi Genre music. I am sure you Bangladeshis know who she is. "Pola to noi - she jey aguneri gola". Much loved by common folks....

Now, please forget Dr. Mumtaz Begum and enjoy Yousuf Sarker. He is a super singer.

By the way, I have seen one woman from BD earn a doctorate and wrote "Drs" on the name card she printed because she was a woman. I was surprised.

But Lady Mumtaz may be worse than her. Mumtaz may think this certificate gives her the right to do medical practice.

By the way, our Namrudi Begum has 9 doctorates. And she hates Dr. Yunus because he received a Nobel Prize with one doctorate degree but not she with 9 doctorates. She is unhappy.

"‘Sottyo Seleucus! Ki bichitro ei desh (truly Seleucus, what a strange land this is)!" @bluesky bhai...

(This is a line from ‘Chandragupta’, a play by Dwijendralal Ray, where Alexander says this about encountering India and Western Indians).

I am captivated by that Yusuf Sarker haircut. Wow! More captivated than his in-a-catatonic-trance singing.

I can't figure out if it's an afro, a mullet, a nazi-looking hair-helmet or all three !

Looks like some strong hair-spray used that could stop a tank-shell....

D.L. Ray wrote dramas in a way as if he was on the spot watching and hearing what his characters were doing and talking. And our people love to believe he wrote truly historical accounts.

It is the same with his Sirajuddaulah recorded drama. Actually, it goes for his credit as a dramatist. People believe him because he successfully wrote the dramas.

However, to my disgust, BD people think Alexander came to Bengal and commented to Seleucus on Bengal. Our people also love to believe Alexander fled India because he feared the heroic warriors of Bengal/ Gangaridi who were our forefathers.

I always say that Bengali Muslims are a mixed group of people, not only local Hindus, Afghans, Turkic, Arabs, Persians, and Central Asians, but also African people from the present-day Eritrea and Ethiopia known as Abysinia in the historical times. Many people migrated here. To know about it, please read the accounts of Ibn Batuta.

About 8,000 Muslim Abysinians were employed in the Bengal military at one time when Fateh Shah (?) was the Sultan. We had also an Abysinian Sultan named Muzaffer Shah who was formerly called Malik Andil, a military general. He was deposed by Sultan Syed Hussain Shah, an Arab immigrant.

So, we also have Abysinian blood in our veins. This is how we can see some people have curled hair, though not sure of the hair style of Yusuf Sarkar. May be it was done in a hair saloon. But, he looks quite handsome with that hairstyle.

I doubt this was the case. DL Roy was wrong if he depicted that - In reality Alexander did not get past Western India where he faced strong resistance. All part of history.

Gas pipeline from Myanmar to India via Bangladesh should be good for the region. Unfortunately, the political situation in Myanmar is not good for such moves at this time

Keep on dreaming gas pipeline via BD land. PM Begum Zia wanted $150 million per year. Now, all the gas fields are awarded to China. Note that Arakan wants independence. No one knows what happens next.
