Agartala: The High Commissioner of Bangladesh to India, M Riaz Hamidullah, has commenced a significant three-day visit to Tripura, underscoring the deepening bilateral ties between the two nations. The high-profile visit, which runs from today until August 4, is packed with a series of crucial meetings and inspections aimed at bolstering cross-border connectivity and cooperation. Upon his arrival at Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport in Agartala, the envoy was received with a formal welcome, following which he paid floral tributes at Albert Ekka Park, a symbol of historical friendship. He then proceeded to the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in the state capital.
Later in the day, the diplomat is slated to hold a pivotal meeting with Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, where discussions are expected to centre on key projects and shared interests. The agenda for the High Commissioner’s visit is extensive. Officials have confirmed that he will visit the Integrated Check Post in Agartala and the Akhaura Land Port, two vital arteries for trade and transit between India and Bangladesh.
On day two of his tour, the envoy will cross into Bangladesh to visit Ashuganj and the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Brahmanbaria, a move that highlights the cross-border nature of this diplomatic engagement. He will also inspect the Nischintapur Railway Station in Agartala, a key component of the much-anticipated Akhaura-Agartala Rail Link project. The final day of his visit will see the High Commissioner meeting Tripura Governor Indrasena Reddy Nallu before travelling to the South District to inspect the Sabroom Integrated Check Post and the Maitri Setu, a bridge that stands as a powerful testament to the bilateral friendship. The envoy will depart for Delhi on August 4, marking the end of a visit that many hope will pave the way for even closer collaboration and development in the region.
