Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman is likely to embark on his first official visit to India between August 20 and August 25, with Dhaka and New Delhi currently deliberating on the precise dates, according to a report by Daily Star. The visit is being contemplated due to both nations' interest in fostering bilateral engagement, though scheduling has posed a challenge.
Two possible date ranges, August 20-21 and August 21-22, are under consideration, with the final decision expected after Indian High Commissioner Dinesh Trivedi's return to Dhaka, as per a diplomatic source in New Delhi. The visit assumes significance amidst recent diplomatic tensions sparked by Sheikh Hasina's public remarks from India, following her ousting from Bangladesh in 2024.
Bangladesh has expressed hope that India will expedite the extradition process for former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina during their meeting. The proposed visit comes amid diplomatic dialogue following Sheikh Hasina's virtual press interaction in New Delhi, organized by the Foreign Correspondents' Club of South Asia, drawing objections from Dhaka. India had distanced itself from Hasina's engagement, stating no involvement in the event.
