Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen on Thursday said he proposed visa-free travel between Bangladesh and India to enhance people-to-people connectivity.
Foreign Minister Momen discussed the issue with his Indian counterpart Dr S Jaishankar when they met on the sidelines of the IORA meeting in Colombo on Wednesday.
The Foreign Minister said he received a good number of requests from Bangladeshis to help them in obtaining medical visas.
One such request came to Momen through a mobile message when he was in Colombo and he showed it to Jaishankar who was sitting just beside him.
After seeing the message, Momen said, the Indian External Affairs Minister assured him that he would talk to the Indian High Commission in Dhaka.
