Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Dinesh Trivedi calls on Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman in Dhaka today.
“High Commissioner Dinesh Trivedi paid a courtesy call on Hon’ble Prime Minister of Bangladesh, H.E. Tarique Rahman on 10 August 2026. High Commissioner conveyed greetings from Hon’ble Prime Minister of India and the intent to work together with the Government and the people of Bangladesh in a positive, constructive and forward-looking manner,” read a post on X by High Commission of India in Bangladesh.
“They exchanged views on matters of mutual interest and discussed avenues for further strengthening bilateral relations between India and Bangladesh with a people-centric approach,” it added.
The meeting comes a day after Trivedi held a one-on-one meeting with Bangladesh Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman on Sunday, who was also present at today’s meeting.
The High Commissioner’s meeting with the Foreign Minister assumes significance in the backdrop of Sheikh Hasina’s public remarks at a private event on August 5.
India had sidelined itself from Hasina’s engagement, stating that the government has no involvement in the event. Addressing a media briefing on Friday, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stressed that the event was being organised by a “private media entity” and that New Delhi does not endorse any views that may be expressed there.
“The interaction you refer to is being organised by a private media entity. The government has no involvement whatsoever in it. Neither does it endorse any views that may be expressed at the forum,” Jaiswal said.
The meeting also comes amid India’s invitation to Rahman to attend the BRICS Summit in September, in his capacity as the current chair of BIMSTEC.
