Dhaka: Marking a new high in bilateral ties, India and Bangladesh on Saturday sealed a historic deal to settle the 41-year-old land boundary dispute through exchange of territories, removing a major irritant in bilateral ties. On the first day of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's maiden visit here, the two sides swapped documents regarding the Land Boundary Agreement (LBA) that paves the way for the operationalisation of the 1974 pact under which 161 enclaves under the control of either countries will be exchanged.
The instruments of ratification were exchanged in the presence of Modi and his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina besides West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee after Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar and his Bangladeshi counterpart Shahid-ul Haque signed the protocol.
"History is made as the Instruments of Ratification of the Land Boundary Agreement are exchanged," Modi tweeted. Under the Agreement, 111 border enclaves will be transferred to Bangladesh in exchange for 51 that will become part of India.
