India’s ties with Bangladesh today are better than ever and this is a tribute to the legacy and belief of Bangladesh’s Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman that ties between neighbours should be exemplary, New Delhi’s envoy to the UN said here.

“Our ties with Bangladesh today are perhaps better than ever and this is a tribute to Bangabandhu’s legacy,” India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Syed Akbaruddin said last week at a commemorative event organised by the Permanent Mission of Bangladesh to mark the 44th death anniversary of Bangladesh’s founding father Mujibur Rahman on August 15, 1975.

Mujibur Rahman’s daughter Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is a true inheritor of his belief that “ties between neighbours should be exemplary and we are happy that our ties have just grown from strength to strength”, Akbaruddin said at the event ‘Remembering Bangabandhu–A Voice for the Oppressed’.
