Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen today said Bangladesh's relations with India and China should not be compared, adding that Bangladesh emphasises its development through cooperation and collaboration.

"Bangladesh's relations with India are rock-solid and historic while Bangladesh has economic ties with China. We must not compare," he said emphasising on joint efforts.

Momen made the remarks after visiting Mujibnagar Muktijoddha Memorial Complex where he paid tributes placing wreath.

His wife Selina Momen, among others, was present.

Bangladesh is focusing on its own development, said Momen, adding both India and China are major partners and Bangladesh wants more trade benefits from India.

UNRESOLVED ISSUES

The foreign minister said Bangladesh and India resolved major bilateral issues, achieved progress on water-sharing and other pending issues will also be resolved.

"There are some issues. We will resolve those. Keep faith in us," he said.
