Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said Bangladesh will not have to seek water from others if water could be properly reserved.
"Bangladesh is delta country. All rivers originated from the Himalayas flow through Bangladesh. If we take steps to preserve water, we won't have to seek water from others."
The Prime Minister said this in reply to a question from journalists over Teesta water sharing at a press conference at her official residence Ganobhaban.
The press conference was arranged to brief the journalists about the outcome of her recent tri-nation visit to Japan, Saudi Arabia and Finland, as per a UNB report.
"We've taken the Delta Plan, and we're dredging rivers," she said adding, "What will they do with extra water? So, don't be worried. They didn't give water but is giving us electricity which is also good," said the Prime Minister.
All problems will be resolved one after another, Hasina said adding," We've resolved difficult problems like the maritime boundary one. We've resolved the enclave problem in a friendly manner."
