Whenever there is turbulence between two or three countries in the region,
00:05
the process of regional cooperation experiences hiccups.
00:11
Regional cooperation means cooperating between more than two countries.
00:17
You have to have good bilateral relations with at least three
00:22
contiguously located neighbors.
00:26
Therefore it is in the interest of all, all the neighbors in the region
00:34
to sit with each other and amicably discuss issues.
00:38
We should take a lesson out of how ASEAN deals with their interstate relationship.
00:44
We can learn of course the lesson from Europe but we are not in Europe, our culture is different.
00:49
ASEAN is the closest culture to us.
00:53
But we can also learn from what is happening in East Africa, West Africa and Southern Africa.
00:58
East African Union is a going concern.
01:02
They are at least 50 years ahead of the South Asia region.
01:06
We should ask ourselves why they are ahead and we are not.
01:10
Remember that the world is going forward.
01:13
Even if we do nothing, we are going backwards.
01:17
What priorities should the new government focus on to ensure stable India Bangladesh relation?
01:26
Re-engage in official conversations as well as re-engage in people to people contacts,
01:36
re-energize trade and economic activities.
01:42
Without these we will not be able to move forward.
01:46
How can Bangladesh balance its national interest while fostering a cooperative partnership with India?
01:54
I assume that our national interest must have as a core goal good relations with all our neighbors.
02:06
Whether it is with India or it is with Nepal or Bhutan or Sri Lanka which are immediately around us
02:12
or with China which is at one stage of separation from us or with the ASEAN which all the countries are Bay of Bengal countries.
02:20
I see regional cooperation on a larger scale and frame than we have so far seen.
02:29
From SAARC we move to sub-regional cooperation BBIN and BIMSTEC.
02:34
I am envisaging taking it even one step further to say that BIMSTEC plus configuration.
02:41
Which means all the Bay of Bengal countries that's the seven countries on the Bay of Bengal rim
02:47
plus adjacent countries of interest which have an interest in the Bay of Bengal
02:52
that is landlocked countries like Nepal and Bhutan
02:57
and countries in the ASEAN region like Vietnam, Cambodia etc. Brunei
03:04
with whom we have interests should comprise a configuration like Bay of Bengal cooperation
03:12
and we should have the two ports of Singapore and Mali as the eastern and western
03:19
entrepreneurs of such cooperation.
03:21
This will make the Bay of Bengal which has over a quarter of the world's total population
03:30
in this region.
03:33
Also with the aggregate GDP they will be the fourth largest after USA, China and European Union.
03:44
We are all emerging powers in one way or the other and I think together
03:50
we will have better bargaining influence in the global discourses.
03:57
In final words sir I am asking whether you have started the new initiative
04:05
Bay of Bengal initiative under your leadership.
04:08
What's the objective of these institutions?
04:10
To foster greater cooperation.
04:12
I am not talking of an alliance I am talking more in the sense of a fraternity
04:17
of the countries of the Bay of Bengal region
04:20
who can bring together their respective economic and strategic strengths
04:27
and work with each other to further their own national interest but in a collective manner.
04:34
I am not talking of an alliance.
04:36
So we can start like the European Union started with just what was called
04:42
the European Economic Cooperation.
04:45
Then it progressed to the European Economic Community.
04:50
Then it became the European Community
04:53
because from economy it started addressing other issues
04:56
and at the final stage it became the European Union.
