When asked how can closed neighbors like India and Bangladesh resolve current tensions while maintaining strong people-to-people and business ties, Shams said that both sides must remember that "they are dependent on each other' and are in a "symbiotic relationship."
Shams while talking to ANI said that Bangladesh's trade with Pakistan will not overtake that with India, adding that Dhaka also has strong people-to-people ties with New Delhi, which Islamabad can never overtake.
Shams, while speaking with ANI, said that India and Bangladesh said that extradition is not the only issue between the two nations, and both countries are working for their "multi-faceted" and "multi-dimensional" relationship
