Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said that she did not return empty-handed from India, adding that Bangladesh’s gains from the visit are relative.
She said this while responding to a question from a journalist at a media briefing in Dhaka on Wednesday.
Referring the seven Memoranda of Understanding signed between the two countries during the tour, she said: "After all these, the opposition says we got nothing. But, it is a matter of perception.”
Referring to former prime minister Khaleda Zia's last state tour to India, she said: "Khaleda Zia also received a warm welcome in India and enjoyed the trip a lot. But, what was her achievement?"
"Can't you remember her briefing about the trip? She said that she had forgotten a number of issues to talk about," she added.
The prime minister also joked that she was glad that the question wasn’t about what Bangladesh gave up during the trip.
Hasina went to New Delhi on a four-day trip at the invitation of her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi on September 5.
