In an interview given to 'Pratham Alo' newspaper, Yunus said, 'The relationship between Bangladesh and India should be very close. It will be difficult for us to do without each other in various fields including economy, security, water. So in everything there should be good relations between the two countries. It should also be seen that there is no impression that someone is imposing something on someone.' Yunus also claimed that both countries need each other.
He said, 'We have to move forward with whatever is necessary for that.' Yunus also talked about strengthening India-Bangladesh relations and strengthening SAARC. Along with this, Yunus said that Bangladesh's biggest advantage is India and China. Yunus also thinks that Bangladesh will learn from these two countries and both countries will be their markets. He also said that they should continue with the relationship with the two countries.
