The Indian High Commission in Dhaka has said some media outlets have published “ill intentioned, factually incorrect and speculative reports with little understanding of India-Bangladesh relations” surrounding the recent visit of foreign secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla.
“Such mala fide attempts are highly mischievous and misleading,” the High Commission in a message posted on its official Facebook page said. Shringla visited Dhaka on August 18-19 which he described as “very satisfactory” one.
The visit was part of the “ongoing bilateral engagement between two close and friendly neighbours”.
During the visit, he met Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and held talks with his Bangladesh counterpart Masud Bin Momen, among others.
Both sides, during the visit, underscored the value of positive media reporting on the bilateral engagements and agreed to call upon their respective media communities to play more responsible roles in this regard.
