(PTI) New Delhi, Ta. 4 October 2019, Friday

Onion prices in India have also affected the food of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Sheikh Hasina had instructed her cook to stop consuming onions in the meal as onion imports from India stopped. Sheikh Hasina requested India to inform her in advance if she stopped exporting onions.

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who is on a four-day visit to India, said her countrymen are facing a lot of trouble as India suddenly stops exporting onions. He jokingly said, 'I don't know why you stopped exporting onions.

With the onions coming out of India, I had to tell the cook not to consume onions in the meal. If India makes any such decision, inform in advance. If you take such a step suddenly, it will be difficult for us. If you make any such decision in the future, inform us in advance so that we too can have time to make arrangements. '

He addressed the India-Bangladesh Business Forum organized by CII and Assocham. Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal was also present at the time. Last Sunday, India suddenly banned the export of onions to increase the availability of onions in the domestic market.

The central government also imposed stock limits on onion retail and wholesale traders. On enhancing trade and investment between India and Bangladesh, he said that there is huge potential for development for Indian industries in different sectors of Bangladesh.

Bangladesh is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. He hopes that by 2041 Bangladesh will become a developed country. Our relations with India are very good and in the coming days the relations between the two countries will become stronger.

While the issue is currently very high in West Bengal after the implementation of the NRC in Assam, the Bangladesh Prime Minister said that the implementation of the NRC in Assam will not affect his country. He has been in talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi over this.

He is satisfied with the assurance of Prime Minister Modi. Sheikh Hasina will hold bilateral talks with Prime Minister Modi during a four-day visit to India. This is Sheikh Hasina's first visit to India after the parliamentary elections in India.
