India should be ready to resolve border issue
"While solving the border problems, there should be consensus politically. We also have an administrative mechanism. That mechanism should be activated after which both the neighbors should solve this problem diplomatically based on the facts. This has already started between the two countries,” he said.

Saud said that in order to solve economic problems, the government should produce hydropower and increase electricity trade with India and Bangladesh.
