“Bangladesh would like to build strong synergy with the Murshidabad centre of the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) because of its locational advantage and linguistic and cultural affinity,” said Bangladesh High Commissioner to India Tarique A Kareem after a meeting with the Vice Chancellor of AMU P K Abdul Azis.
Kareem said that the Bangladesh agricultural universities have made remarkable advancements in agricultural research and as a result farmers are cultivating three crops per annum. “This technology could be of immense benefit to the farmers of India,” he said.
Azis assured help in promoting mutually beneficial initiatives between the varsity and the academic institutions of Bangladesh. Azis invited the visiting dignitary to deliver lectures in the area of conflict resolution and international affairs.
