Hailing Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's 'zero-tolerance' policy to deal with terrorism, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 8 April, 2017 credited decisive leadership of the former for achievements of India-Bangladesh partnership.

"Today marks golden era in India-Bangladesh ties. We thank Prime Minister Hasina for acknowledging our soldiers efforts in liberating Bangladesh from the reign of terror," Prime Minister Modi said while addressing a joint statement.

Asserting that he is determined that fruits of cooperation between the two nations will benefit people, the Prime Minister said India is a long-standing and trusted development partner of Bangladesh.
