India Again Assures Bangladesh of Resolving Teesta Issue: Shahriar Alam

India has again assured Bangladesh of resolving the Teesta river water sharing issue, State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md. Shahriar Alam said today (September 6, 2022).

“We are still at the assurance level. We believe the commitment that India made will be fulfilled, though it may take time,” he said.

The state minister said this at a press briefing held at Bangladesh House in the Indian capital after bilateral talks between Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.

He, however, said that the major achievement of PM Hasina’s current visit is the MoU on the withdrawal of water from Kushiyara river by Bangladesh.

This was among the seven MoUs signed between the two countries on the second day of Hasina’s four-day state visit to India.
