Amid reports of China trying to build dams over the mighty Brahmaputra River, Bangladesh high commissioner to India Syed Muazzem Ali said the prime ministers of the two countries had extensive discussions over this issue. On the Brahmaputra basin, we are very concerned about the diversion of water and Bangladesh is prepared to join a joint basin management concept.
Responding to a question on China Bangladesh growing relationship, Bangladesh high commissioner said that certainly, we have economic relations with China, but with China, we don’t have the kind of projects we have with India.
