Bangladesh PM Seeks 'Conducive Environment' To Reset Ties With India
Rahman said Dhaka wants to reset ties with India as it presses New Delhi to speed up Sheikh Hasina’s extradition, officials said.
- On Monday, August 10, 2026, Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman met Indian High Commissioner Dinesh Trivedi in Dhaka for a courtesy call amid pressure over ousted leader Sheikh Hasina's continued presence in India.
- Tensions spiked after former Prime Minister Hasina, who fled Bangladesh in August 2024, held a virtual press conference from New Delhi on August 5, prompting Dhaka to demand her extradition for alleged 'crimes against humanity.'
- Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated, 'The government has no involvement whatsoever in it,' while Trivedi reiterated India's commitment to working with Bangladesh in a 'positive, constructive and forward-looking manner.'
- Rahman emphasized the need to 'create a conducive environment' to boost bilateral ties during the half-hour meeting, which precedes his potential attendance at the September BRICS Summit as BIMSTEC chair.
- The renewal of the Ganga Waters Treaty of 1996 represents a critical upcoming challenge, as it expires on December 31, 2026, requiring extensive expert-level discussions to ensure continued cooperation on water-sharing issues.
