Indian Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said on Sunday his country is committed to implement all agreements signed between Bangladesh and India during Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to Dhaka last September.
“There has been some delay, but these (agreements) will be implemented soon,” he said during a meeting with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at her office.
Pranab Mukherjee told the PM that a subcommittee under the Joint River Commission will be formed to analyse the proposed Tipaimukh Dam and inform the government of the outcome to remove misunderstanding from the public minds about the project.
He said all will get due share in the water of the rivers coming down from the Himalayas.
On bilateral trade, the Indian finance minister said New Delhi has already granted duty-free access of 46 Bangladeshi items to the Indian market to reduce the widening trade gap.
PM’s press secretary Abul Kalam Azad briefed the press after the meeting.
