Hasina's return, India ties among priorities: Bangladesh Foreign Affairs Adviser

India Today  

Deposed premier Sheikh Hasina's extradition is one of the several issues with India that Bangladesh would pursue, while strong bilateral ties with Washington, Delhi and Beijing are priorities of the interim government, Foreign Affairs Adviser Touhid Hossain said on Wednesday. Hossain said Dhaka’s efforts to bring Hasina back from Delhi and to uplift ties with India will proceed in parallel. A former diplomat, Hossain, the de facto foreign minister in Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus’ interim government, said that maintaining strong bilateral ties with the US, India, and China alongside addressing the Rohingya crisis would be key priorities for Bangladesh in 2025. Asked if Dhaka considers the rapid development in Myanmar’s Rakhine state bordering Bangladesh as a challenge since the rebel Arakan Army took virtual control of almost the entire region, Hossain said Dhaka acknowledged the newly emerged reality.
