BANGLADESH NEWS

DHAKA: Bangladesh has agreed to give India a fee-free sea route access in the country for running their trade and commercial activities.

An agreement paper was signed in a meeting between the secretary-level around 10:30am Tuesday.

Bangladeshi Secretary for Water Resources Abdul Mannan Hawlader and his Indian counterpart Pradip Kumar Sinha signed the agreement paper on behalf of their respective sides.

A deal will be signed in this regard within a week on the basis of the agreement paper.

Abdul Mannan said, “Any international ship is bound to pay extra fee while entering inside Bangladesh by sea routes.”

But, Indian ships, which would only use our sea routes in order to enter the country, need not to pay any extra fee, he added.
