Assam has long been bridge between India, world to our East: EAM Jaishankar
Union External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on February 15 said, "Assam has long been the bridge between India and the world to our East.
The advent of colonialism and subsequent emergence of nation-states had effectively disrupted seamless connection between eastern India and Assam and world to our East.
But this changed since 2014." "Act East Policy is an approach to create connectivity within Assam, to the North-East then to Myanmar and Bangladesh but eventually push by road, sea, air to Vietnam and Japan.
It won't just be an economic activity but make Assam more connected, energetic, contributing and employed," he added while addressing an event in Guwahati.

Dramatic scenes unfolded in Dhaka as hundreds of student protesters and political activists armed with bamboo sticks, iron rods, and pipes launched a violent assault on supporters of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The violence escalated as protesters torched the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum, once the home of assassinated leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, during an uprising that has left the city in turmoil. With Hasina now in exile, the anniversary of Rahman's death has become a flashpoint for unrest, and the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus has canceled the national mourning day. Journalists were threatened, and chaos reigned as the protesters clashed with Hasina's supporters. Watch now to understand the full scale of the crisis gripping Bangladesh!
