- Neither Prime Minister Tarique Rahman nor a representative from Dhaka attended the summit in New Delhi.
- Dhaka said the invitation concerned Bangladesh’s BIMSTEC chairmanship; Rahman’s first India visit should be bilateral.
- Media reports suggest talks are currently underway to facilitate Rahman’s possible visit in November.
- Engagement increased after the BNP-led government took office in February, but trust and unresolved issues remain challenges.
Rahman’s first visit to India should not take place through a multilateral conference but rather be a full-fledged bilateral visit.— Humaiun Kobir, State Minister for Foreign Affairs, explaining that Rahman’s first visit to India should be a bilateral visit, not through a multilateral conference.
