Hasina’s two-minute video message was aired at a programme in New Delhi on ‘Maitri Diwas’ or Friendship Day marking 50 years of Bangladesh-India diplomatic relations.

"We continue to believe in the importance of our relationship. At the same time, this (50th) anniversary is an opportunity to reflect on the foundation of our bilateral relations and the path ahead. It is an occasion also to recommit ourselves to work towards further strengthening the longstanding dynamic partnership between Bangladesh and India," Hasina said.

Both the countries jointly observed the day (December 6) in 20 countries.

Sheikh Hasina said she is confident that together the two countries and two peoples would continue to turn their visions and ideas into realities, for decades to come, Bangladesh media reported.
