Bangladesh has not yet made a decision regarding a proposed visit by Prime Minister Tarique Rahman to India, according to a statement made by his press secretary on Friday. The announcement follows recent reports in Indian media indicating that Rahman was scheduled to travel to New Delhi between August 23 and 25 for what would be his first visit as prime minister, amid weeks of ongoing discussions between the two South Asian neighbors.
Bilateral relations between Dhaka and New Delhi remain complex, unfolding against the backdrop of significant political shifts in Bangladesh. Former prime minister Sheikh Hasina fled to India following student-led protests that ended her long-standing rule, and she has since remained in exile there. In the wake of her departure, Dhaka has repeatedly pressed New Delhi for her extradition.
