Dr Singh said, due to close business and cultural ties between India and ASEAN, the region will take a lead in the economic recovery in the post-Corona era. The Minister said that the North Eastern Region has a special role to play in the promotion of trade and business relations with ASEAN as it is the gateway to the growing economies of South-East Asian Nations. He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has changed the policy of Look East to Act East intending to take the bilateral cooperation to newer heights.
Referring to the connectivity issues, Dr Singh said, in the last six years, there has been a significant development in terms of Road, Rail and Air connectivity. He recalled that the Indo-Bangladesh treaty for exchange of enclaves, which was accomplished under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has cleared the decks for ease of business, ease of movement and ease of commuting.
He said that there will be a train to Bangladesh from Tripura very soon heralding a new chapter and opening new vistas in the development of this region by providing the entire region access to the seaports. He also emphasized the continued focus of the Central Government to explore the alternate modes of transport that is Inland Waterways connecting with other countries of the region as a cheaper option for trade, business and transportation. He said this will boost the trade across the borders especially with our eastern neighbours by leaps and bounds.
