Ties with India at 'readjustment' stage: Bangladesh

DHAKA: Dhaka's relationship with New Delhi is now at a "re-adjustment" stage and there is "no lack of goodwill from our side", Bangladesh foreign affairs adviser Md Touhid Hossain said on Thursday, however, acknowledging that current ties are not as "deep" as they were during the previous Sheikh Hasina govt.

Bangladesh-India relations suffered following the ouster of Hasina last year. The Muhammad Yunus-led caretaker govt in Dhaka has sought the former PM's extradition from India. Asked at a press conference about the June 19 Bangladesh-China-Pakistan meeting in the Chinese city of Kunming, he said, "I can assure you it was not done targeting India". "We are not forming any alliance. It was a meeting at the official level, not at the political level," Hossain said
