New warm-up sign in Morshed gesture

Unb, Dhaka
In an apparent pleasant surprise, Foreign Minister M Morshed Khan yesterday showed up at Zia International Airport (ZIA) to personally see off his guest, Indian External Affairs Minister Natwar Singh, who left for home ending his high-profile Bangladesh visit.
Under the latest protocol being followed, Morshed was not expected at the airport to see his guest off, as both of them exchanged farewell greetings at the dinner hosted by Indian High Commissioner Veena Sikri on Sunday night.
"Oh, you are here," an apparently surprised Natwar said, spotting Morshed already waiting at the airport lounge. Both shook their hands cordially and sat on sofa side by side.
And moments later, it was only after Veena Sikri whispered something in his ears that Natwar wished Morshed "Happy Birthday" on his 65th birthday, which incidentally fell yesterday.
Those present at the scene quickly took their turns and also wished Morshed happy birthday.
Morshed's presence at the airport also caught the attention of other waiting journalists, as on the day of arrival at ZIA on August 6, it was Foreign Secretary Hemayetuddin who received formally the Indian Minister.
Talking to the reporters at the airport, the foreign minister said India should open its market for all Bangladeshi products with zero tariffs and without non-tariff barriers.
"We've given them everything, we've nothing more to give now… It is now India's turn to provide Bangladesh with equitable treatment in trade," he said.
Asked if Bangladesh received any specific assurance from the Indian Minister in resolving any bilateral irritants, he said, "We don't think everything will be right overnight. Despite all difficulties, we will remain constructively engaged with each other to find solutions."
Morshed termed India and Bangladesh "natural friends" and said: " We don't have Kashmir between us, we don't have nuclear buttons between us. From now on we can be working together for mutual benefit after the visit of Natwar Singh."
NATWAR VISITS GANDHI
ASHRAM IN NOAKHALI
Earlier in the morning, Natwar Singh visited Gandhi Ashram at Joyag in newly formed Sonaimuri upazila of Noakhali district.
Singh arrived at Begumgamj upazila headquarters by a helicopter at 8:00am and later went by road to Jayag, the place Mahatma Gandhi visited back in 1946.
Indian Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran, Joint Secretary Mohon Kumar, Indian High Commissioner in Dhaka Veena Sikri, local MP MA Hashem and Deputy Controller of Protocol Mahfuzur Rahman accompanied the Indian minister.
Deputy Commissioner Shahadat Hossain Majumdar and Police Superintendent AKM Shahidur Rahman received Natwar Singh at Begumganj helipad.
On arrival at Joyag, Gandhi Ashram Trust Secretary Jharnadhara welcomed the Indian External Affairs Minister and his entourage. Later, he went round the museum where some of the items used by Mahatma Gandhi are kept and signed the visitor's book of the ashram.
Singh saw some damaged portraits of Mahatma Gandhi at the museum and assured that he would arrange to get these restored through the Gandhi Trust in India.
Speaking briefly on the occasion, Natwar Singh said he was glad to come to such a place and happy to see that the people here still remember Mahatmaji who was loved by people of all faiths for his mission of peace.
