PM Sheikh Hasina on Sunday, November 20, 2022, said fuel import from India through pipeline to start from next year.
“Bangladesh wanted to import fuel from India through pipeline, and hopefully it is to be done in the next year,” she said.
Sheikh Hasina said this while Assam Legislative Assembly Speaker Biswajit Daimary called on her at her official residence, Ganabhaban.
He was leading a 4-member delegation.
PM’s press secretary Ihsanul Karim briefed reporters after the meeting.
The 130km India-Bangladesh Friendship Pipeline (IBFPL) project aims to export oil products from the Siliguri Marketing Terminal in West Bengal state to Bangladesh.
Sheikh Hasina also said that the border haats between Bangladesh and India, in various parts of the border of the two nations, will resume function, as those were stopped during the COVID-19 pandemic.
