NEW DELHI, August 20

India and Bangladesh have decided to set up a high-level monitoring mechanism to review the progress of ongoing projects after Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla made a two-day dash to Dhaka earlier this week, where he called on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and met his counterpart Masud Bin Momen.

Both sides also discussed new projects and Shringla assured that India would complete three rail links and a thermal power plant, MEA spokesperson Anurag Srivastava told newspersons here today. The Indian Foreign Secretary discussed “useful, special initiatives in key areas of mutual interest’’, said Srivastava. The Indian assurances about time-bound completion of ongoing projects in communications and power sectors come against the backdrop of China promising Bangladesh generous assistance for developing communication links and water harnessing projects.
