Bangladesh PM Seeks 'Conducive Environment' To Reset Ties With India
Rahman said Bangladesh wants a conducive environment to advance ties while pressing India to expedite Sheikh Hasina’s extradition, officials said.
- Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman met Indian High Commissioner Dinesh Trivedi on Monday, urging a "conducive environment" to strengthen bilateral ties while pressing India to expedite the extradition of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
- Ousted in August 2024 after student-led protests ended her 15-year rule, Hasina has remained in India while facing legal proceedings in Bangladesh, where a tribunal sentenced her to death in absentia. Her continued presence has become a major bilateral irritant.
- India stated it is examining Bangladesh's extradition request under its legal and judicial procedures. The Indian High Commission reiterated India's commitment to working with Bangladesh in a "positive, constructive and forward-looking manner."
- Tensions escalated after Hasina held an online audio conference in December, declaring she would return to Bangladesh; the Bangladesh foreign ministry expressed outrage, describing the event as deeply hurtful and complicating Rahman's stabilization efforts.
- Rahman's six-month-old government aims to stabilize relations with India, its largest neighbor, while navigating the politically sensitive Hasina issue. His remarks mark the first time he has formally stressed the need to improve conditions for stronger bilateral ties.
