Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Pranay Verma has said he remains optimistic about Dhaka-Delhi relations despite changes happening around.

The two countries can really offer each other something that they do not need to go elsewhere to find, he said.

"This is how we look at the relationship. We have so many things to offer each other with our growing capabilities and rising ambitions to grow and develop," he said.

He reiterated that they strongly support a "democratic, stable, peaceful, progressive, and inclusive" Bangladesh.

Pranay Verma made the remarks during an interaction with diplomatic correspondents at the High Commission yesterday evening, following their participation in a two-phase training programme in New Delhi.

"We need to look at our relationship with mutual sensitivity -- sensitivity to each other's interests, each other's concerns, and aspirations," said the high commissioner.

The high commissioner said they have a strong stake in each other's progress and prosperity.

He said they are really willing to have a "positive, stable, and constructive" relationship.

"It has to be a mutually beneficial relationship. We also believe that people are the key stakeholders in this relationship. We strongly believe that our cooperation benefits the common people on both sides," said Verma.

He said any notion that things are slowed down is not correct, and they are working to take forward the relations.
