The state minister said that the cooperation between Bangladesh and India has been discussed.We are going to start international news analysis, current events and news presentation with a two-hour slot especially on BTV. In that case, there was a discussion about whether collaboration with the Indian news agencies, especially ANI, could be done or not.He said, since BTV is shown on India, we will gradually increase this two-hour chunk to two, three, four hours. We want to do according to international standards, where there will be news from different countries in South Asia, there will be news from different countries beyond. Here we will try to attract Indian audience. Apart from this, there are institutions with Indian Film and Television, collaboration with them, various programs and training.Recently the movie titled 'Mujib' has been co-produced, is there an opportunity to co-produce any other movie?
In response to the question whether good quality Bangladeshi movies can be shown in India as Indian movies are released in the Bangladeshi market, the state minister said that the audience cannot be forced to show anything. If there is a demand for something in the market, it will automatically come and go. Since the movie is a product, if there is an audience in the Indian market, it will definitely go.In response to the question whether there was any discussion on the Indian election issue, he said that there was no discussion centered on the Indian election. In this one of the most populous country in the world, why is it being done for such a long time, what is the method of election, there have been some basic discussions.The state minister said, we have discussed the issues on which we have more opportunities for cooperation. I think - Bangladesh will benefit more in this regard. Because we try to take as much experience as we can in Indian film, television or other places. It is important for the development of these countries.
