Bangladesh turns to China on Teesta project, casting shadow on India ties
Bangladesh's new government is seeking Chinese involvement in the Teesta River restoration project.

India had previously offered technical assistance for the Teesta basin. Water sharing remains a key issue in India-Bangladesh relations.
