RAJSHAHI BANGLADESH
Rajshahi, Mar 1 The US ambassador to Dhaka has expressed hope that the three parties concerned with the sharing of Teesta river water will find a way to resolve the issue.
"I am very hopeful that the central government of India, state government of West Bengal and the Bangladesh government will find a way to resolve the issue," Dan W Mozena told media on his return to the capital on Thursday after a five-day visit to Rajshahi.
"It's a difficult issue. But I think they will find a way out and reach an agreement that is good for the people of both countries," he added.
During Indian premier Manmohan Singh's visit to Bangladesh in September last year, the two neighbouring countries failed to strike a deal on sharing the water of Teesta following West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee's opposition.
After meeting Indian finance minister Pranab Mukherjee on Feb 25, Bangladeshi foreign minister Dipu Moni said he had assured that his government will take necessary steps to resolve the issue.
Mozena also expressed his happiness over fertile land of Rajshahi. Rice, wheat and mango produced in Rajshahi will help Bangladesh become a middle-income country, he said.
