December 9, 2024, Dhaka, Bangladesh: Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri arrived in Dhaka for a day-long visit focused on important discussions with his Bangladeshi counterparts. The visit comes at a crucial time, given the strained diplomatic relations between India and Bangladesh. The talks will cover several pressing issues impacting bilateral ties, including the political turmoil that followed the ousting of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in August, concerns over rising violence against religious minorities, particularly Hindus, and the evolving security situation in Bangladesh.
During his visit, Misri is expected to meet with Bangladesh’s Foreign Secretary Mohammad Jashim Uddin and the country’s de facto Foreign Minister Mohammad Touhid Hossain. These discussions are vital for both countries as they seek to navigate the complex political landscape and address concerns related to regional stability, human rights, and cross-border security issues.
The visit aims to strengthen the bilateral relationship between the two nations and resolve differences through diplomatic dialogue. As both India and Bangladesh face challenges like minority rights and regional security, Misri’s engagement is seen as crucial to fostering mutual understanding and continued cooperation.
