He expressed the need to preserve and promote this spirit, stating, "It is time for us to treasure our friendship."
Taking to his X account, the External Affairs Minister underscored the exemplary nature of the India-Bangladesh friendship, noting that it has not only served the interests of both nations but has also set an example beyond their bilateral relationship.
