India and Bangladesh have completed joint survey along the international border in 80 per cent areas to resolve boundary issues. As a first step, both countries have started identifying adversely-held enclaves which is expected to be completed within a month. Defence Ministry sources say there are around 130 Indian enclaves in Bangladesh and 95 Bangladeshi enclaves within Indian Territory along the 4,098-km-long border between the two countries. Meanwhile, Union Minister for Commerce and Industry Anand Sharma is reaching Dhaka today on a two-day visit to Bangladesh. He will call on Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and hold discussions with the Bangladesh Commerce Minister Lt. Col. (Retd.) Faruk Khan. He will also hold talks with Bangladesh Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr. Dipu Moni. Anand Sharma is leading a 12-member high-level official delegation and a twenty member business delegation from the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
