Bangladesh: Dhaka, Delhi to hold JRC meeting ahead of PM Hasina’s visit

DHAKA, 14 August 2022, (TON): Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen said “the much-awaited Joint Rivers Commission meeting between Bangladesh and India would be held later this month to discuss water sharing issues as the two countries share 54 rivers.”

We are thankful to the Indian side as they agreed to my proposal (to resume the Rivers Commission meeting before the prime minister’s visit). We have agreed on a number of issues in principle.

He told reporters in Sylhet “we hope some development will happen.”

Momen said “Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina agreed to visit New Delhi on September 5-6 at the invitation of her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.”
