During his meeting with PM Hasina on Tuesday (July 2), Adm. Tripathi highlighted the growing cooperation between the two nations. PM Hasina emphasized that the relationship between Bangladesh and India serves as a \u201cmodel\u201d for other neighboring countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBangladesh and India have resolved many problems through dialogue. This relationship could be a model and exemplary for many other neighboring countries,\u201d PM Hasina stated, according to Bangladesh\u2019s national news agency BSS.

In June, Bangladesh PM Hasina visited India twice, first for the oath-taking ceremony of PM Modi for his third consecutive term and then for a state visit.
