The government has held only “vague policy-level discussions” on the Teesta project without any internal consensus or feasibility study, according to Planning Advisor Wahiduddin Mahmud. “Only vague, policy-level discussions are taking place on the Teesta project. When asked about the much-discussed Teesta River project, Wahiduddin said: “The reality is, how can we make full use of the water we do receive? Speaking about the visit, Chief Advisor’s High Representative Khalilur Rahman told the media that China responded “positively” to discussions on the Teesta project. The chief advisor has sought President Xi Jinping’s support, and China has expressed full commitment to assist us.”The Teesta project was originally proposed to the now-ousted Awami League government by China.
