India is set to launch an e-medical visa facility for Bangladeshi nationals seeking medical treatment in India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on Saturday following a meeting between the two delegations in New Delhi. Additionally, India will establish a new consulate in Rangpur, Bangladesh, to provide services to the north-western region of the country.
Prime Ministers Modi and Sheikh Hasina addressed the media at Hyderabad House, emphasizing the importance of their frequent interactions over the past year. In the last one year, we have met 10 times, but today’s meeting is special because PM Hasina is the first state guest of our third government. Bangladesh is crucial for our Neighbourhood First policy, Act East Policy, Vision SAGAR, and Indo-Pacific vision. We have completed several developmental programmes together in the last year, stated PM Modi.
