Indian High Commissioner Pranay Verma today said as the Bangladesh-India relationship is multifaceted and expansive, it cannot be confined to a single issue.

"We are willing to engage with the interim government of Bangladesh," he told reporters after being summoned by the Bangladesh's foreign affairs ministry.

The Indian high commissioner was summoned by acting foreign secretary Reaz Hamidullah on the issue that occurred at the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala on Monday.

After emerging from the meeting at the foreign ministry, the envoy said that India is interested in working with the Bangladesh government to fulfill the two countries shared aspiration for peace, security and development.

The envoy described the relationship between the two countries as "multifaceted and wide-ranging," mentioning that they cannot sit with one issue or agenda.

He also said there are many interdependencies and wanted to build on that for mutual benefits.
