India’s new High Commissioner for Bangladesh, Pranay Verma, on Wednesday called Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina here, pledging to work together to combat terrorism in the region.
Verma, a 1994 Indian service officer, met Hasina a month after presenting his credentials to President Abdul Hamid on October 27.
“India has a policy for neighboring countries. But Bangladesh has the highest priority. Bangladesh has priority in any case,” Verma said through a spokesman for the Prime Minister’s Office during his meeting with Prime Minister Hasina at her official apartment in Ganabhaban. .
Noting that Bangladesh is “a great friend” of India, Verma said the two countries will work together to eliminate terrorism in the region.
Echoing the envoy’s comments, Hasina said Bangladesh pledged not to allow terrorists to use its soil.
“(The decision) of the Awami League never mimics terrorism and never the use of Bangladesh’s land for this purpose,” he said.
