This news-'4th Nepal-Bangladesh trade talks commence' is very positive. Nepal and Bangladesh are two sovereign and friendly countries. Mutual respects, trust, economy size and cultural heritage are common factors binding their close relationship. On the background above, it can be convincing that we can be mutually benefited by entering into various socio- economic activities. Trade, joint-industrial projects, science and technology exchange programs, cultural exchange visits could be some the ventures we could enter into, of course, within the frame work of the existing bilateral/regional and international treaties. Additionally, Nepal in view of its land- locked ness geographic situation could always ask for facilitation and generosity from its friendly neighbor, India, which believes, practices and follows the highest order of democracy. India harbors common neighborhood between Nepal and Bangaldesh. In the context of trade and transit between Nepal and Bangaladesh, the intention of Indian Govt. should be participated. Because, cordial people to people level relations between Nepal and India has existed since ancient times. Nepal and Bangaladesh have to keep friendly relations with India due to our similar cultural religious traditions and geographical attachment. But sadly, India is not clear on its intention. We hope Indian Govt. can consider as a nearest neighbor country. Thank you. Dirgha Raj prasai Dirgha Raj Prasai, Kthmandu, Nepal
