Bangladesh Foreign Minister Declines to Confirm PM Tarique Rahman's BRICS Summit Attendance
Bangladesh Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman declined to confirm whether Prime Minister Tarique Rahman will attend the BRICS Summit in New Delhi on September 12-13, despite India's invitation to an outreach session. Rahman, speaking as UN General Assembly President, deferred bilateral questions. Bangladesh's participation is closely watched amid strained India-Bangladesh ties following New Delhi's asylum grant to former PM Sheikh Hasina. The summit will address global challenges, including the West Asia crisis, with India hosting as BRICS chair and BIMSTEC chairmanship held by Bangladesh.
