Indian commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal recently suggested five focus areas—trade, technology, connectivity, entrepreneurship, and health and tourism—to enhance economic ties with Bangladesh, India's biggest trade partner in South Asia with an annual trade volume of over $10 billion. India is developing two economic zones at Mirsarai and Mongla in Bangladesh, he said.
The minister was virtually addressing the Bangladesh International Investment Summit.
Both the countries are looking forward to advance the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA).
