Bangladesh Seeks Reset of Bilateral Ties with India, Citing Past Strains
Bangladesh has expressed a desire to "reset" its relationship with India, seeking a new bilateral engagement based on mutual interests. State Minister for Foreign Affairs Humaiun Kobir described ties during former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's tenure as "uncomfortable" and emphasized moving beyond an "excessive preoccupation" with India. Bangladesh declined to send Prime Minister Tarique Rahman to the BRICS Summit in India, citing invitation issues, while India extended separate bilateral and BIMSTEC-related invitations. Both sides indicate openness to dialogue focused on people-to-people ties and balanced cooperation.
