Amidst tension in India-Bangladesh relations, High Commissioner Dinesh Trivedi calls on PM Tarique Rahman
Meeting took place days after Dhaka expressed outrage over Sheikh Hasina’s virtual presser in Delhi’s Foreign Correspondents Club
Indian High Commissioner Dinesh Trivedi met with Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman on August 10, 2026, amid strained bilateral relations. The meeting occurred shortly after Hasina, the deposed former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, criticized Rahman's government during a virtual press conference held in New Delhi on August 5.
Hasina had sought refuge in India following her ousting in 2024. Following the meeting in Dhaka, Bangladesh's Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman expressed a sense of reassurance regarding the discussion between Rahman and Trivedi. Rahman emphasized the need to create a conducive environment to advance India-Bangladesh bilateral relations.
Foreign Minister Rahman also reiterated Bangladesh's request for the extradition of individuals connected to the assassination of Shaheed Osman Hadi, a youth leader killed in December 2025, who had fled to India. The Indian High Commission in Bangladesh stated that both sides exchanged views on matters of mutual interest to strengthen relations with a people-centric approach.
