🔵 Dhaka–Delhi Relations Enter Phase of Strategic Realignment 🔵

🕊️ “We must accept the reality that the intimacy of the past no longer exists.” — Touhid Hossain, Foreign Affairs Advisor

Bangladesh’s top foreign policy official has confirmed that relations with India are now in a state of “readjustment” following the political transition from the Hasina administration.
