Bangladesh Signals Reset With India, Seeks Fresh Start in Bilateral Ties
- On Sunday, State Minister for Foreign Affairs Humayun Kabir announced Bangladesh wants to "reset" its bilateral relationship with India, emphasizing new engagement based on mutual interests rather than multilateral forums.
- Kabir described ties during the tenure of deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as "uncomfortable," urging Dhaka to move beyond an "excessive preoccupation" with New Delhi.
- These remarks came two days after Bangladesh said Prime Minister Tarique Rahman would not participate in the BRICS Summit hosted by India, with the invitation extended to the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation chair.
- Prime Minister Rahman is scheduled to leave for New York on September 21 to attend the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, with Kabir noting potential meetings with President Donald Trump remain undecided.
- "We have to get out of the India fascination," Kabir said, asserting India is just another country, though the agenda for any potential visit by Rahman to India must be set first.
