Dhaka : Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday said that the ‘Bangladesh-India Friendship Pipeline’ will play an important role in ensuring fuel security in the country. The inauguration of this fuel pipeline is taking place at a time when many countries of the world are facing severe fuel crisis due to Russia-Ukraine war. “When many countries around the world are on the brink of fuel crisis due to the Russia-Ukraine war, this pipeline will play a big role in ensuring fuel security for the people of Bangladesh,” he said. The project will also reduce Bangladesh’s dependence on China for fuel.
