Sheikh Hasina, the prime minister of Bangladesh, applauded the initiative taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to rescue Bangladeshi students who had become trapped in eastern Europe as a result of the commencement of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Prime Minister Hasina, who will be visiting India on Monday, complimented the Vaccine Maitri program’s generosity in giving COVID-19 vaccines to neighboring nations when the epidemic was rapidly spreading in a televised interview with ANI.
The prime minister of Bangladesh emphasized the need for improved cooperation between the two neighbors. She added that while there might be disagreements, these should be resolved via discussion and pointed out that Bangladesh and India have done just that in a number of instances.
However, she singled out two instances where Bangladeshi citizens benefited from assistance provided by the Indian government. One of these involved the exodus of Bangladeshi students who, like many Indians, had been trapped in Ukraine and its neighbouring nations at the time of the conflict’s onset.
“I want to sincerely thank the prime minister for helping to provide sanctuary for so many of our students in Poland amid the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. However, when you, Indian students, evacuated your students, they also sent our students back home. Thus, it actually is… You made a gesture that was unmistakably friendly. I appreciate the Prime Minister’s (Modi) initiative “stated Prime Minister Hasina.
She was responding to a query concerning assertions that there was a lack of cooperation among SAARC states, which were frequently expressed, particularly by western observers. In response to a different query regarding the Vaccine Maitri programme of the Indian government, the prime minister of Bangladesh stated that it was a very “prudent” effort taken by Prime Minister Modi.
“I want to express my gratitude to Prime Minister Modi for taking this effort, which allowed him to provide vaccines to several south Asian nations in addition to Bangladesh. And he has done a very wise action in doing so. In addition, we paid for the vaccines ourselves, and a lot of other nations also donated “She spoke.
