Excellencies, we will now witness joint remote inauguration through video conferencing of three bilateral projects. I request the two Prime Ministers to come forward in order to jointly unveil the e-plug for inauguration of import of bulk LPG from Bangladesh. In line with the neighborhood-first policy of the government of India and to further promote the policy of the government of India and to further promote India-Bangladesh countries are taking yet another step towards mutual growth and progress. This step forward in bilateral relations would benefit Bangladesh with increased employment and trade opportunities. Bangladesh will supply LPG, liquefied petroleum gas to north-eastern region of India, and transport it across the border in their LPG bullet trucks. Indian oil's Bishal Gar Watering Plant in Tripura would receive the product for further distribution. This will ensure continuous supply of LPG to the difficult terrains, even through the challenging monsoon months when roads become blocked and impossible, which will help in propagating the Dhan Mantri-Ujwala Yojna scheme in the northeast sea region of India. The easier logistics with a much shorter route of 200 kilometers vis-à-vis the current circuitous route of 1700 kilometers would ensure accessibility, availability, and affordability of the product. It will result in a more equitable balance of trade between the two countries and pave the way for new frontiers of expansion. This is just the beginning of a new chapter in economic growth through mutual cooperation and collaboration between India and Bangladesh. This is the second energy bridge between the two countries. The first energy bridge being the ongoing construction of India-Bangladesh-Motri pipeline. Today, the Prime Minister of India Shreed Narendra Modi and the Prime Minister of Bangladesh for Excellency Sheikh Hasina have come together to inaugurate the project for import of bulk LPG from Bangladesh to India. This will mark a new phase for the energy ties between the two countries. Excellencies, I now request both the Prime Ministers to jointly unveil the E-Plac for inauguration of Bangladesh-India Professional Skill Development Institute at the institution of Diploma Engineers Bangladesh in Kulna. To strengthen the bilateral relationship between the Government of India and the Government of Bangladesh. Signed MOU on 22nd October 2017 for setting up of Common Facility Center for Small and Medium Enterprises at Kulna in Bangladesh under the assistance from Government of India. HMT International has set up the Bangladesh India Professional Skill Development Institute, an advanced professional skill development center in tool and die making. HMT International has set up various machining facilities at BIP SDI. The training covers basic skills, advanced skills, supervisory skills and hands-on training. Eight BIP SDI instructors are specially trained in advanced and high technology machines in India. On-the-job training to the instructors will also be given on-site on the installed machines and equipments. With this installed facilities, BIP SDI can impart training to over 200 Bangladesh youth annually through modular training. BIP SDI has the potential for employment for over 300 persons directly and indirectly and generation of 5 million US dollar business annually in view of skills generated. Excellencies, finally I request both the Prime Ministers to jointly unveil the E-plug for inauguration of the Vivekananda Bhavan at Ramakrishna Mission Dhaka. Ramakrishna Mission Dhaka is one of the pioneer dance centers of Ramakrishna Mission, a worldwide spiritual and philanthropic organization. It has been serving the humanity in various fields such as education general and technical health care services, guest house, financial assistance to the poor and needy and relief services over 100 years and more. The institution stands for a model for religious harmony. In order to serve humanity in a wider spectrum, the center constructed Vivekananda Bhavan principally funded by the Government of India. The Bhavan is now ready for providing accommodation of 100 students, 20 guests, administrative office, reading room, library and publications. The Bhavan stands out as a milestone of friendly relationship between India and Bangladesh and represents an outstanding vision of the Government of India for human resource development. Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, I now have the honor to request the Honorable Prime Minister of Bangladesh to deliver her remarks. At the outset, I thank the Prime Minister of India for inviting me to India. I extend gratitude to you, Prime Minister and to your Government for the warm hospitality extended to me and members of my delegation. I am happy to be present here today for the inauguration of a Vivekananda Bhavan in the Ram Krishnan Mission premises in Dhaka with grant from Indian Government. Unuram Krishnan Mission has been playing a unique role in the spread of education in Bangladesh. Every year, a number of students have been continuing the education with assistance from this institution. This institution is also working for the socio-economic development of Bangladesh. The four-storied Vivekananda Bhavan hostel will help spread the light of education amongst the students of the hostel and the students would be inspired by the ideals of Swami Vivekananda. I thank the Government of India for providing financial assistance for this institution. The institution of engineers Bangladesh located in Kulna, the establishment of Bangladesh in the Professional Skill Development Institute, I am happy to be present here today in the inauguration of this institute. The various machines provided in this institute will help in the development of the SME sector in this region and in promoting trade. Besides, this project would help in the employment generation of more than 300 people. This would also help in the development of skilled human resource and in capacity building and training. This would also help in employment generation among the youth and women. The decision to import LPG from Bangladesh into India will help make the trade relations more dynamic. Besides, I hope this would help fulfill the full energy demand in the northeast of India to a great extent. Distinguished guests, over the last decade, cooperation between our two countries in various traditional areas such as security, environment, energy, education, culture, people to people contact, health and in various other areas, cooperation has been enhanced. Besides, in various non-traditional areas such as blue economy and maritime affairs, peaceful uses of nuclear energy, space research, internet bandwidth, export, cyber security, cooperation in these areas have also been enhanced. This multifaceted cooperation has placed our bilateral relations as a model of good-nableness before the world. I firmly believe this cooperation will be strengthened in the future. The trajectory of our excellent bilateral relations were unveiled in 1971 when the people of Bangladesh joined the Great Liberation War under the leadership of Father of the Nation, Bangavanda Sheikh Mojib Rahman. I recall with gratitude the role of the people and the government of India in the war of liberation of Bangladesh. This would remain an eternal milestone in our bilateral relations. Distinguished guests, I thank all of you for being present here today, especially the Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Besides, I thank all who have been involved in the implementation of these projects who have been working hard for materialisation of these projects. My heartiest thanks to all of you. In future, I hope through our joint cooperation we can inaugurate many more such development projects. My heartiest thanks to all of you. Now, it is my privilege to request the Honourable Prime Minister of India to deliver his remarks. I am happy that I have once again given the opportunity to present three more bilateral projects with the Prime Minister Sheikh Hassan Ali. In the last year, we launched nine projects from the video link. In the last three projects, we have launched a dozen joint projects. On this occasion, I would like to thank both the officials of both countries and all the citizens of the country. These three projects are in three different areas. LPG, Import, Vocational Training and Social Facility. However, I would like to thank all of you for the opportunity to present three more bilateral projects with the Prime Minister Sheikh Hassan Ali. In the last three projects, we have launched nine projects from the video link. In the last three projects, we have launched nine projects from the video link. India is the basis of Bangladesh's participation in the development of every country from our friendship. Both the countries will benefit from the bulk LPG supply from Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, exports, income and employment will also increase. The transportation will be less than 1500 km. There will be an arctic profit. There will be less damage to the environment as well. The second project is the Bangladesh-India Professional Skill Development Institute. For the development of Bangladesh's health and health, Kusal will prepare manpower and technician. Excellencies, last but not the least, in the Dhaka-Ramkrishna Mission, Vibhakanan Bhavan's project, which takes inspiration from the lives of two great people, has a great impact on our societies and principles, on the traditions of Swami Ramkrishna and Swami Vibhakanan. In this mission, like the example of Bengali culture, it is also a place for everyone to believe in this mission. And this mission is celebrated by all the members of the community. In Bhavan, more than 100 university students and research scholars have been established. Excellency, with the help of India-Bangladesh, it gives us the opportunity to meet our fellow countrymen. We are proud that India-Bangladesh relations are a great example for the whole world of the cooperation between the two neighboring countries. I am happy that through today's conversation, our relations will be filled with more energy. Jai Hind, Jai Bangla, Jai Bharat Bangla Bandutva. Thank you. Excellencies, this concludes today's ceremony.
