"There is a growing recognition among international experts about the fact that close sub-regional trade, economic cooperation and connectivity will help accelerate the process of achieving a Shonar Bangla (Golden Bangladesh) in the shortest possible period of time," Kovind said. The president said Bangladesh's "stellar economic performance" complemented by geographical advantage can benefit the entire sub-region and the world. Together we can create opportunities for seamless flow of ideas and innovation as we enter a new era of inter-connectivity," he said. "We must urge our thinkers to leverage the power of our own unique success stories, to find ‘best-in-class’ ideas that are relevant in our regional context.
"Our innovators should be urged to find new solutions, based on locally-appropriate technologies, to address our common development challenges.
To achieve that, Kovind said, businesses, academics and especially youths of both the nations must be motivated to jointly create globally-pioneering initiatives in the world of ideas, creativity, commerce and technology. He said if the first 50 years of "our partnership began by surmounting extraordinary challenges that forged a deep friendship between our people, perhaps the time has come to raise the bar even higher". "These are guarantees of a sustainable, deep friendship, based on mutual respect, sovereign equality and our respective long-term interests," Kovind underlined, as the two countries celebrate 50 years of ties alongside the golden jubilee celebrations of Bangladesh's independence from Pakistan. In recent years, the two neighbours have seen steady expansion of trade, economic cooperation, people-to-people ties, student exchanges and extensive engagements across multiple areas of activity.
