Bangladesh’s foreign minister arrives in India for three-day visit

India Bangladesh Khalilur Rahman Tarique Rahman
  • Bangladesh's foreign minister, Khalilur Rahman, is on a three-day visit to India from 7-10 April, aiming to mend strained bilateral ties between the two nations.
  • During his visit, Mr Rahman is scheduled to meet with India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and his Indian counterpart, S Jaishankar.
  • Key discussion points are expected to include energy cooperation, river water sharing, and the normalisation of visa services, which were previously suspended.
  • This marks the first visit by a Bangladeshi minister since the 2024 monsoon protests, which led to former prime minister Sheikh Hasina fleeing to India and a subsequent period of anti-India rhetoric under the interim government.
  • Relations have shown signs of improvement since the new Bangladeshi government, led by Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, took office, with India expressing a desire for a "forward-looking approach" to rebuilding ties.
