New Delhi, Sept 18 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday jointly unveiled e-plaques for the ground-breaking ceremony of two projects, via video conference.

External Affairs Minister of India, Sushma Swaraj, and Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Dharmendra Pradhan, also joined the proceedings.

The projects include: India-Bangladesh Friendship Pipeline and Dhaka-Tongi-Joydebpur Railway Project

Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister Modi described the cooperation between the two countries as an example for the world.

He said that the two countries are neighbours, geographically; and family, emotionally.

He expressed confidence that the proposed railway project will contribute to the process of strengthening national and urban transport in Bangladesh.
