Indian Ambassador to Bangladesh Dinesh Tripathi said that when Bangladesh Prime Minister Tariq Rahman meets Prime Minister Narendra Modi, solutions will be found to bilateral issues.
After student protests broke out in Bangladesh in 2024 and then-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina took refuge in India, relations between the two countries deteriorated sharply. Especially during the interim government period, under the pretext of taking revenge on India, severe murders, robberies, and sexual assaults were carried out against Hindus, the minority community in that country.
As a result, relations between the two countries worsened further. After elections were held last February and Tarique Rahman became prime minister, the situation there began to improve.
In this context, on the 5th of last month, Sheikh Hasina held a press conference via video while staying in India. This caused dissatisfaction in the Bangladesh government. The Ministry of External Affairs said that India does not support the remarks made at the Hasina event.
Speaking to reporters in Dhaka on Sunday, Indian Ambassador to Bangladesh Dinesh Trivedi said, ‘When Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman meets and speaks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in person, solutions will be found to bilateral issues.
I am certain of this. There are no negative views in the bilateral relationship. Everything is smooth,” he said.
India has invited the Prime Minister of Bangladesh to participate in the BRICS summit to be held in India on September 12 and 13. However, Bangladesh appears to be hesitant to take part in it.
It is understood that leaders including Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian will participate in the BRICS summit.
