Bangladesh and Pakistan resume talks after 15 years, seek to mend strained ties
Pakistan's Foreign Secretary Amna Baloch arrived in Bangladesh on April 16, 2025, to resume diplomatic talks after 15 years, as confirmed by a Bangladesh Foreign Ministry spokesman.
There is no specific agenda for the talks, which are expected to cover all areas of mutual interest during discussions, a foreign office spokesman stated.
The talks signify improved relations between Bangladesh and Pakistan after years of strained ties, particularly following a recent political shift in Bangladesh.
Direct trade between Bangladesh and Pakistan resumed last month with the import of 50,000 tonnes of rice after decades of strained relations.
Bangladesh Interim Government: During Sheikh Hasina's tenure, relations between the two countries hit rock bottom. However, the current interim government of Bangladesh is seeking to strengthen those relations.
