- Bangladesh's delegation requested extradition of Hasina and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, while assuring India that Bangladeshi soil would not host security pacts with the United States, China, or Pakistan.

- Both nations agreed to "follow-on official meetings" at an early date to explore deepening the partnership through existing bilateral mechanisms, the Ministry of External Affairs reported.
