Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has urged India to inform Bangladesh before taking any decision to stop export of essential commodities, like onion, in future.
“Suddenly, you (India) stopped the export of onion to Bangladesh. If you noticed us it earlier, we could have managed to import onion from other countries,” she said.
The Prime Minister came up with the statement while addressing the inaugural function of India-Bangladesh Business Forum (IBBF) in New Delhi on Friday, reports BSS.
Sheikh Hasina also cracked a joke in Hindi saying she by now asked her cook not to use onion while preparing food items.
The Bangladesh premier is now in New Delhi on a four-day official visit to India to attend the India Economic Summit of the World Economic Forum (WEF).
Indian Industry and Railway Minister Piyush Goyal, Bangladesh Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi, Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industries (FBCCI) President Sheikh Fazle Fahim, Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) President Vikram Shreekant Kirloskar, Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) President Sandip Somany and Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) President Balkrishan Goenka were present on the occasion.
