After the Awami League was ousted from power in the July 2024 mass uprising, tensions arose in Dhaka-Delhi relations.
The 12 February elections signaled a thaw in these relations with the establishment of a BNP government.
Following this development, Khalilur Rahman, as the first minister of the new government led by Tarique Rahman, visited India. He arrived in Delhi on Tuesday on this “goodwill” visit.
Today at noon, the foreign ministers held a formal meeting at Hyderabad House with their respective delegations. Earlier in the morning, Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman attended a breakfast meeting with several Indian editors and senior journalists.
