Seven unresolved issues with India: Bangladesh

February 21, 2003 20:41 IST

Bangladesh has said that it has seven unresolved issues with India.

They are "demarcation of 6.5km out of over 4,000km of common boundary between the two countries, handing of enclaves, exchange of areas within enclaves having adverse possession, demarcation of maritime boundary, ownership of Talpatty [New Moore] island in Bay of Bengal, bridging trade gap and sharing of waters of common rivers", Bangladesh Foreign Minister M Morshed Khan told the country's parliament on Thursday.

In a written reply to a question from a fundamentalist Jammat-e-Islami member, the foreign minister said exchange of adverse possession of lands in the enclaves has to be made on the basis of Mujib-Indira agreement.

They Jammat-e-Islami is an important partner in the Bangladesh Nationalist Party-led four-party alliance of Prime Minister Khaleeda Zia government.

Khan was in New Delhi last week to hold talks with Indian leaders to resolve the recent standoff over the issue of illegal migrants in India.
