China’s planned project along the Teesta in Bangladesh is expected to feature during Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra’s upcoming visit to Bangladesh, a prominent daily in Dhaka has reported.
Mr. Kwatra, who is expected to be in Dhaka on a two-day visit this week, is likely to review bilateral relations as Bangladesh has already drawn attention here because of a planned military exercise with the Chinese forces.
India has been cautiously watching China’s investment plans in Bangladesh that include a multi-million dollar dredging and development project which envisions to turn the Teesta into a zone of economic activity. The project came into focus in 2020 and ever since has been a concern for India as it is being planned near the strategically important Siliguri corridor and the northeastern states.
