India can say anything for regional benefits: Momen

Describing the Indian government as "very mature", Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen today said if New Delhi does something for India, regional peace, and stability, this will certainly be beneficial for the region.

Momen said India is a very strong democratic country and it does whatever it thinks is good for it.

"We have no reason to comment on this. Because we believe that they have a mature government system," he told reporters at a media briefing at the foreign ministry.

His remarks come after recent reports by Germany-based Deutsche Welle (DW) and India's Anandabazar newspaper that a message has been conveyed to Washington that "New Delhi is not happy with the current role of the United States regarding the upcoming national elections in Bangladesh".
