India-Bangladesh Friendship Dialogue 2015

The Sixth round of the India-Bangladesh Friendship dialogue - being organised on 22-23 May 2015 in New Delhi, jointly by the India Foundation, Friends of Bangladesh, and Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi, will witness high level participation from the political, media, executive and academic circles of both countries.

The event is literally a window of opportunity to both witness and participate at an academic level in the ground-breaking processes that Bangladesh and India have initiated and nurtured over last couple of years. One may examine the five key sessions - each of which caters to a very specific set of agenda and scope - and designate individuals to cover each session separately so that each may participate according to its own area of interest and vision - keeping the spectrum of sub-regional cooperation in focus. 

The dialogue would be able to answer many of the frequently asked questions and would most likely render a fairly good idea about the future that the two aspirational countries may hope to be heading into.
