Indo-Bangla home ministers to meet yearly
India and Bangladesh have decided to institutionalise a yearly meeting of home ministers to have a direct "political supervision" of bilateral issues concerning home affairs and economic matters, Bangladesh High Commissioner to India Tariq Karim said during his recent visit to Shillong.
He said they would meet annually or more often "so that there is political supervision of what is happening and what should not happen."
The decision for the institutionalised meeting assumes significance in light of the efforts of the prime ministers of the two countries to improve the bilateral ties they share as neighbours, said a report of Times of India.
The home ministers of Bangladesh and India have not met in the past 40 years.
