Bangladesh hopeful about land pact with India

As political consensus eluded the Indo-Bangla land boundary pact, Bangladesh Foreign Minister Dipu Moni today hoped that all Indian parties would "see the larger picture and act accordingly".

Apart from holding talks with the top Indian leadership in Delhi, Moni will also meet Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley in a bid to ensure his party's support for smooth sailing of the Land Boundary Agreement, which is expected to come up in the monsoon session of the Parliament.

"I am very hopeful that the way things have been evolving over the past few years, we will see fruition," she said.
