Manmohan Singh, the Prime Minister, visiting Dhaka and with him four chief ministers of North-Eastern India are in addition. They got the room in the team of delegates attending this meeting in Dhaka because of Mamata Banerjee’s taking out from the visit.

Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal Chief Minister’s, withdrawal from the visit at the last moment has put a question mark on the Teesta river water sharing agreement, which can produce a massive disorder. Mamata Banerjee has decided not to go to dispute the ending draft of the Teesta river water sharing agreement. The Teesta, before entering to Bangladesh which begins its journey in Sikkim, flows through north Bengal.

Ranjan Mathai, the Foreign Secretary said here on Monday: “Nothing is done and nothing will be done without the consultation with the state government.” Manmohan Singh will now be escorted by the chief ministers of Assam, Tripura, Meghalaya and Mizoram on the Sep 6-7 visit, a rare move that highlights the significance of the visit for both countries.

The two faces are expected to resolve border disagreements, improve trade ties, argue transit and confirm river water agreements. Illegal immigration and Terrorism is also likely to feature in the extensive discussions.

Ranjan Mathai said: “We are trying to put in place a broad-based agenda of collaboration in areas including trade and investments, infrastructure, power, water resources, border management, education, cultural contacts, people-to-people exchanges, better border and transport communications or what is called connectivity’’.

“Both sides are determined to iron out any divergences and lay a firm foundation of mutually beneficial engagement, to enhance trust, cooperation and stability not only between our countries but in South Asia as a whole. Substantial progress has been made first of all in implementing the decisions taken during the visit of Bangladesh Prime Minister last year,” Ranjan Mathai added more.
