NEW DELHI: Home minister Amit Shah on Wednesday raised concerns with Dhaka regarding illegal immigration from across the Indo-Bangladesh border into northeastern India and suggested finding solutions to the problem.

During talks with Bangladesh minister of home affairs Asaduzzaman Khan, Shah assured India’s continued support for speedy repatriation of displaced Myanmar citizens, or Rohingya Muslims, sheltered in Bangladesh. During the seventh meeting of India-Bangladesh home minister-level talks, Shah and Khan expressed satisfaction that both nations were working closer than ever before in every sector.

They reiterated their commitment to keep the borders friendly and appreciated the close co-operation between their border guarding forces. Shah appreciated Bangladesh’s policy of not allowing use of its territory by extremists and insurgents for perpetrating violence in other countries, including India.
