India, Bangladesh to deepen trade and economic ties as partners

The India-Bangladesh CEO Forum will meet soon for the first time, even as the two countries work towards finalising a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) to deepen s as partners rather than competitors, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on Sunday.
Congratulating the Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on the country’s transition from a less developed country to developing nation status, Mr. Goyal said India stands “shoulder to shoulder” with the country’s leadership and people in their development journey.
