India-Bangladesh Tensions Resurface After Dhaka Skips BRICS Summit in Delhi
Bangladesh's absence from the BRICS summit in New Delhi has drawn attention to strained relations between the two countries, with former PM Sheikh Hasina's exile in India remaining a key sticking point.
Bangladesh's decision not to attend the BRICS summit held in New Delhi has drawn renewed attention to tensions between Dhaka and New Delhi, with analysts pointing to unresolved issues stemming from last year's change of government in Bangladesh.
Chief among the points of friction is the continued presence in India of ousted former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who has been living in exile there since being removed from power. Her presence has remained a significant obstacle to normalizing relations between the two governments.
Dhaka's absence from the summit has been interpreted by observers as a signal of the current state of the relationship, though neither government has issued detailed public statements explaining the decision.
The strained ties come amid broader questions about how Bangladesh's interim leadership is recalibrating its foreign relations with regional powers following the change in government.
