Bangladesh High Commissioner to New Delhi M Riaz Hamidullah met Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee at her office on Monday and discussed issues of mutual interest.


“It’s a courtesy meeting,” a senior official at the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Kolkata told UNB, without elaborating further.

Bangladesh and India went through tensions in their bilateral relations in phases on various issues since the fall of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s regime on August 5 last.

Mamata’s meeting with the Bangladesh High Commissioner in nearly nine years came amid Dhaka’s concerns over push-ins.

Before his meeting with Mamata, High Commissioner Riaz visited Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Kolkata and held a meeting with all at the Deputy High Commission.

On May 29, Bangladesh High Commissioner to India submitted his credentials to the Indian President.

Extending a warm welcome to newly appointed Bangladesh High Commissioner, President of India Droupadi Murmu said they envision a “democratic, stable, prosperous and inclusive” Bangladesh.

She emphasised that the foundation of bilateral ties between the two nations lies in the shared sacrifices made during the Liberation War of 1971, reports UNB.
