Desk Report: Indian Minister of Commerce and Industry Civil Aviation Suresh Prabhu will arrive here on September 23 on a three-day visit to discuss trade and other bilateral issues between the two countries, reports Daily Asian Age. “The Indian Commerce Minister will be here on September 23 and return home on September 25. We’ll have a bilateral meeting at state guesthouse where we’ll discuss border haat issues in details,” Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed told parliament.
While responding to a supplementary question from Nabi Newaz (Jhenaidah-3), he said there is a plan to take Indian Minister to Tofail’s constituency as he desires to visit rural areas. On opening more border haats, the Commerce Minister said Bangladesh cannot do it alone and it will have to be done through mutual discussions with India.
“Though discussions, we’ll have to find out suitable places,” he said adding that the idea of opening border haat along Bangladesh-India border turned a successful one.
