GBNews24 Desk//

Highlighting the growing Dhaka-Delhi ties, Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Sunday said how India and its people had supported Bangladesh during the 1971 Liberation War is written in blood.

While launching the Bangladesh Youth Delegation 2022 programme with Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Vikram Kumar Doraiswami at the high commission in Dhaka, Hasan said the relations between the two countries reached new heights under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.

The information minister emphasised strengthening people-to-people relations and hoped that such a programme will play an important role, UNB reports.

Doraiswami said the youth delegation programme will help the young people know each other and take the relationship forward to the next generation.

The programme this time will be more inclusive and it is their best effort to reach out to the young people across Bangladesh and motivate them to become ambassadors of Bangladesh and ambassadors of the two countries’ friendship, he added.

The high commissioner said this is an opportunity to connect the shared culture and other areas and build partnerships in several areas.

Hasan and Doraiswami also unveiled the official logo and launched the portal of the Bangladesh Youth Delegation 2022 which is now active for receiving applications up to June 30.

Arranging such an exchange programme for youth was not possible in the last two years due to the Covid pandemic.
