Dipu to Visit Tripura
Trade, connectivity top agendas
Connectivity and increase of trade and commerce with India's seven North-Eastern states will dominate Foreign Minister Dipu Moni's talk with Tripura's state government during her upcoming visit.
Official sources said the foreign minister will pay a 2-day visit to Tripura to attend the inauguration of a Liberation War monument and a friendship park there being constructed by the Tripura state government.
Official sources added she may pay the visit on November 10 to 11 if her health condition improves. If not, then she will visit Tripura after Eid-ul-Azha.
They said both Bangladesh and India laid utmost importance on connectivity and trade between Bangladesh and the Northeastern states, popularly known as seven sisters.
Dipu Moni is due to hold meetings with Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar and Governor of Tripura DY Patil.
She is expected to attend the opening ceremony of Sabroom Land Customs, which has recently been established to strengthen export-import with the seven states.
Although India is going to start the Sabroom Land Customs Station, but Bangladesh is yet to begin the process to start such station in its side.
Foreign ministry officials said Dipu Moni in her talks with Tripura chief minister and governor will ask for allowing Bangladeshi products in the Indian states.
