Dhaka, Aug 19 - Bangladesh and India may decide 'at the highest political level' key bilateral issues like an extradition treaty, measures to tackle terrorism and connectivity to improve mutual access and trade, a media report said Wednesday.
Officials say they have given 'a green signal' to proposals made by India, including the signing of an extradition treaty, mutual legal assistance against terrorism and exchange of sentenced prisoners.
'We have suggested going ahead with the proposals after considering our laws, but the final decision has to be made by the highest office of the government,' an official, requesting anonymity, told New Age newspaper.
Inter-ministerial meetings have taken place this week for the visit to India by Foreign Minister Dipu Moni Sep 9 that in turn would pave the ground for a visit by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the newspaper said.
Dhaka feels that Delhi, during the visit of the foreign minister, would once again raise the issue of tackling terrorism and ascertain Bangladesh's stance on signing the South Asian anti-terrorism pact that Dhaka had proposed.
On connectivity, Dhaka may approve the Indian proposal for a Kolkata-Narayanganj train container service for faster movement of goods.
