Bangladesh Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi on Saturday said the Bangladeshi government is giving top priority to the implementation and formalisation of border trade between Mizoram and Bangladesh. Munshi, who arrived in Aizawl on Friday, visited the proposed sites for Integrated Check Post (ICP) at Kawrpuichhuah at Tlabung sub-division in south Mizoram’s Lunglei district and a border haat at Sajek area, about 20 km from Silsury village in western Mizoram’s Mamit district. It was a joint verification with Mizoram commerce and industry minister Dr. R. Lalthangliana on Saturday.
Addressing a brief function at the proposed site for ICP at Kawrpuichhuah, Munshi said the Bangladeshi government is committed to the commencement and execution of cross border trade with Mizoram.
He said the Bangladeshi government, headed by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, is committed to fulfill its responsibilities and take necessary measures required for the setting up of and functionalisation of the ICP in Lunglei district and border haats at Silsury, Tuipuibari, Nunsuri and Marpara in Mamit district.
The Bangladeshi minister urged the Mizoram government for concerted efforts under mutual understanding. He expressed hope that the proposed bilateral trade will cement ties between Bangladesh and Mizoram, besides bringing economic benefits to the neighbouring country and the north-eastern state. During his visit to the proposed site for a border haat at Sajek, Munshi also said that the proposed border trade would be immensely economically beneficial for both Bangladesh and Mizoram.
