"We enjoy good cooperation with Bangladesh and this is something that is proving to be useful to both of our countries," he said pointing out that the two nations are having cooperation in all sectors including anti-insurgency operations.

Saran, who called on Governor R S Mooshahary, is on a tour of north-eastern states which have borders with Bangladesh.

His visit came days after Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh chief ministers visited Bangladesh to attend the India-Bangladesh Trade Fair.

According to Saran, the two CMS had "very good meetings and a lot of ideas have emerged from those meetings".

The High Commissioner said the outcome of the meeting will be put into action in consultation with the Centre.

Pointing out that Meghalaya stands to derive the maximum benefit from improved bilateral relations with Bangladesh, Saran said "Meghalaya shares a very long border with Bangladesh. Many sectors, including tourism, education and even perhaps horticulture and agriculture produce could directly be exported". (MORE)
