Bangladesh links Rahman’s India visit to Sheikh Hasina extradition dispute
Published
Bangladesh says Prime Minister Tarique Rahman will not visit India until conditions improve around its demand for former prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s extradition. Officials from both countries had discussed a possible visit, but a Bangladeshi foreign-ministry official said Hasina’s public media appearances had damaged the process. No visit date or diplomatic compromise is currently established.
Why it matters
The impasse ties high-level engagement between two neighbours to a politically sensitive extradition case. Prolonged tension could affect cooperation on trade, borders, water and regional security.
