Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Smruti S. Pattanaik’s article ‘Transformational moment in India-Bangladesh ties’ has been published in ‘The Pioneer’ on March 28, 2021.
PM Modi’s visit to Bangladesh on its 50th Liberation day and his becoming first head of any state/Government to pay homage at Bangabandhu Mausoleum have given a fresh impetus to the bilateral relations. The spirit of Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam and the Neighbourhood First policy have the potential to further cement the bonhomie between the two countries, writes Dr. Pattanaik.
