  "account": "External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar emphasized the need for mutual interests and a common ground in India-Bangladesh relations during a speech at the Economic Times World Leaders Forum. This comes amid uncertainty over Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's visit to India, which is affected by the extradition issue of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Jaishankar stated that for any relationship to work, it must benefit both parties and respect the interests of the other nation. The relationship between the two countries has seen improvement since Rahman took office in February, but Hasina's public appearance in New Delhi on August 5, marking two years since her ouster, has caused tension in Dhaka. Jaishankar suggested that \"de-risking\" and diversifying partnerships are essential strategies to navigate the current challenges, including distorted energy, fertiliser, and shipping markets. He also addressed China's role, stating that while the relationship is competitive, it is not mutually exclusive and both nations must strengthen their positions to compete globally.",
