Bangladesh's Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman is set to visit India for two days, marking a significant political outreach from the newly elected government led by Prime Minister Tarique Rahman. The visit aims to strengthen bilateral relations, focusing on energy supply, trade restrictions, and the renewal of the Ganga water-sharing treaty, which is due to expire in December. Rahman will meet Indian officials including National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, discussing cooperation in areas like public health, financial inclusion, and security. The Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh emphasized the need for a constructive approach to enhance economic and cultural ties. The visit is particularly timely as it coincides with the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections, where immigration issues are a key concern. Rahman has expressed a desire for a relationship based on mutual respect and dignity, as both nations look to address ongoing tensions and work towards stabilizing their diplomatic ties.
