Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government has taken “landmark steps towards improving relations with India”, Ali said. Inspired by her father’s concept, Hasina has continued to pursue regional cooperation and connectivity as a means to effectively minimise the impacts of the disruptive forces, he added.
