Riyad The visit gives fresh impetus to realizing the vision of Bangladesh as a regional hub. The soft loan deal is historic for both the countries. But India must also prepare to finance the development of world-class roads and highways in Bangladesh as transit would bring heavy pressure on our infrastructure. Not to say that our existing highways can't take such a load.
Umran It is the big time for Bangladesh to use money properly, loaned or donated.
Baz I hope Bangladesh will utilise the money in the stipulated projects quickly.
Niloufar Sarker Congratulations, Minister Mukherjee. Thanks goodness, Indo-Bangladesh special relationship should commence with far reaching changes and breaking the heinous rocky ice orchestrated by backward forces. I believe economic benefits of much needed investment in key sectors are simply enormous and Bangladesh should join in the train of sustained regional development.
M.O. Gani A new chapter has been opened. Relationship with India is different from relationship with all other countries & vice versa. But India never remembers the fact. Hope this time India will understand the importance of Bangladesh as a good neighbouring country. Relationship in equal terms is expected from India. Otherwise, friendliness will evaporate like anything.
Selim I wonder why those forums/associations for Bangladesh Economics refrain from making an analysis of the 1 billion dollar loan contract with India [whereby the 85% surely returns to India by way of buying whatever is needed to implement those projects. It means, India won 2 billion dollars in total through this contract.] --Why FBCCI, DCCI, MCCI, BGMEA, BFUJ, BIDS etc will not opt to analyse various parts of the said contract even out of academic interests, let alone informing the people through press conference, educating the economics students etc.!!
Badal Message to the BNP: join parliament if you want the public to take your opinions seriously.
S Khan I feel pleased to observe that the transport system of Bangladesh has been emphasized here. To my opinion , a good transport system and road-safety should be the first and foremost matter to get attention.
Kishore While allocating money the government must ensure that they give priority to development, not defence. This is the message, which I wish to convey.
Rawshan Ara My question is, do we really need to take this loan from India as these projects are not as much required by Bangladesh as by India? So why are we paying the price for Indian interest?

Bangladesh, India sign deal; Delhi has agreed on transit for Bangladesh to Nepal, Bhutan: Pranab (August 8, 2010) You said about the donors' loan and they impose different conditions while issuing such loans. I want to know is this loan condition free? I, as a Bangladeshi, do want good relationship with India. Tell them to stop killing innocent people on the borders, to stop occupying our lands. Relationship will be better than before. We don't need their money.Riyad The visit gives fresh impetus to realizing the vision of Bangladesh as a regional hub.
