Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday suggested further integrating the economies of Bangladesh and India to consolidate the global and regional value chains cashing on the available synergies.

"I believe both our countries can move up the global and regional value chains by further integrating our economies taking advantage of available synergies," she told her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi in an India-Bangladesh virtual summit.

Describing the ongoing connectivity initiatives between the two next-door neighbours as catalysts in this regard, Hasina said a prime example was the resumption of Chilahati-Haldibari rail link which was inaugurated yesterday.
