PM Modi writes to Bangladesh's interim Chief, reaffirms commitment to bilateral ties
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has written to Muhammad Yunus, Chief Advisor to Bangladesh's interim government, extending greetings on Bangladesh’s Independence Day and reiterating India’s commitment to strengthening bilateral relations.
In his letter, the Prime Minister emphasized the shared history and sacrifices that have shaped the partnership between the two nations. "This day stands as a testament to our shared history and sacrifices, that have laid the foundation of our bilateral partnership. The spirit of the Liberation War of Bangladesh continues to remain a guiding light for our relationship, which has flourished across multiple domains, bringing tangible benefits to our peoples," he wrote.
India and Bangladesh share a historically significant relationship, with New Delhi playing a crucial role in Bangladesh’s 1971 liberation war.PM Modi also emphasized India's commitment to advancing cooperation with Bangladesh, stating that the partnership is guided by aspirations for peace, stability, and prosperity, while respecting mutual interests and concerns.
The letter comes amid a shift in Bangladesh’s political landscape following the fall of the Awami League government led by Sheikh Hasina. The transition led to the formation of an interim government under Nobel laureate and economist Muhammad Yunus.
Concerns over attacks on minorities in Bangladesh have been raised by India, with Dhaka maintaining that these incidents are politically motivated rather than communal in nature. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has affirmed that India remains engaged with the interim government and will continue to address such issues.
In December, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri visited Bangladesh and conveyed India's concerns regarding attacks on religious institutions. He expressed that such incidents were "regrettable" during discussions with Bangladeshi Foreign Adviser Mohammad Touhid Hossain.
