Tripura CM is known to have close relations with Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, having good ties with the neighbouring country and Tripura is called "the gateway of the Northeast", hence Doraiswami decided to meet the CM.

"As we develop our relationship with Bangladesh, our most important neighbouring country relationship, it is going to be of great value to both the countries if our connectivity, travel, trade and people to people ties grow. To achieve this, Tripura is critical, that's why I am here," he said.
