He congratulated the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Government of India, Ministry of External Affairs and the Indian High Commission in Dhaka for this initiative.

He said that this type of exchange helps people of both countries to know each other more intimately and share their thoughts, beliefs and faiths.
