The Story in Brief
India and Bangladesh are set to hold talks on security and the sharing of Ganga waters ahead of a proposed meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bangladeshi counterpart, Sheikh Hasina. NDTV reports that India had planned investments in railways and road infrastructure in Bangladesh, and the conversations will focus on areas where bilateral cooperation has stalled.
The meeting aims to address contentious issues that have disrupted ties, including river water sharing and cross-border security concerns. No final date for the summit has been announced yet.
The Indian Opinion
The usual hype around a bilateral meet frames it as either a breakthrough or a deadlock. But real progress depends on whether both sides show flexibility on the Teesta water-sharing pact, which has languished for a decade. Watch for any specific timeline or mechanism agreed upon for water sharing, that will tell us if this is more than a photo-op.
