Bangladesh Seeks to Reset Bilateral Ties with India, Calls Past Relations Uncomfortable
Bangladesh has expressed a desire to "reset" its relationship with India, aiming for 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 prefers bilateral discussions over multilateral forums and seeks balanced relations, noting India as "just another country." The remarks followed Bangladesh's decision not to send Prime Minister Tarique Rahman to the BRICS Summit hosted by India.
