Bangladesh Urges India to Resolve Teesta Water Dispute While Preserving Friendly Ties
Bangladesh's Water Resources Minister Shahiduddin Chowdhury Anee emphasized that the country does not want its friendly ties with India to deteriorate over the long-pending Teesta water-sharing agreement. He urged India to consider Bangladesh's interests alongside its own amid renewed efforts, including a proposed Teesta River Comprehensive Management and Restoration Project supported by China. India reiterated that water cooperation must continue through established bilateral mechanisms like the Joint Rivers Commission. The project aims to address floods, erosion, and water shortages in northern Bangladesh, with consultations ongoing since February.
