NEW DELHI: External Affairs Minister Vikram Misri called for the clearing of the “clouds” that have overshadowed bilateral relations between the two countries during a meeting with the Chief Advisor of the Interim Government of Bangladesh Mohammed Yunus on Monday.
Yunus also reiterated Bangladesh’s commitment to resolve these issues, emphasizing the need to remove the “clouds” overshadowing relations.
“India desires a positive, constructive and mutually beneficial relationship with Bangladesh,” Misri said, as quoted by Reuters news agency.
Misri said he discussed “some regrettable incidents of attacks on cultural, religious and diplomatic properties”, adding that India expected a constructive approach to these issues from Bangladesh.
Misri met Yunus at the Jamuna state guesthouse in Dhaka on Monday. The high-level visit marks an important step in addressing months of tension following the resignation of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in August and India expressing concern over attacks on Hindu minorities in Bangladesh.
In addition to the meeting with Yunus, Misri held talks with his Bangladeshi counterpart, Mohammad Jashim Uddin, during which both sides pledged to work together constructively to improve ties.
Misri’s visit marks the first high-level engagement between the two nations since political turmoil and rising tensions amid increasing attacks on the minority community.
Despite the challenges, both countries were optimistic about a common future. “There is no reason why this mutually beneficial cooperation should not continue to result in the interests of both our peoples,” Misri said, raising hopes for stronger ties in the coming months.
