'India has always been a great friend and will remain so': Sheikh Hasina
Former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina described India as a "great friend" and said the relationship would endure.
Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has spoken highly of India, calling it a "great friend" and expressing confidence that the relationship between the two neighboring nations will remain strong. Addressing her supporters at a press conference in Delhi, Hasina discussed the political situation in Bangladesh and reiterated her commitment to her country.
She mentioned the importance of India-Bangladesh ties and expressed optimism about the future of the relationship, despite the current political developments. Sheikh Hasina's son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, a former ICT adviser, also praised India for treating her with dignity and respect, noting that she received full security support during her stay in the country.
Despite India's government distancing itself from the press event, the Indian High Commissioner in Dhaka has raised concerns about the potential strain on bilateral ties if Hasina delivers a political speech.
