Dhaka: Bangladesh Prime Minister Tariq Rahman is expected to visit India in November this year, sources told Times Now. Both New Delhi and Dhaka have resumed talks for Rahman's visit. Notably, the Indian High Commissioner in Dhaka, Dinesh Trivedi, has maintained consistent engagement with high-level officials in Bangladesh regarding the visit. During Rahman's visit, bilateral talks will be held between PM Modi and his Bangladeshi counterpart over varied issues, including India's border concerns and illegal immigrants. Trade and renewal of the Ganga water treaty are also likely to be in focus during the talks. Earlier, Rahman was scheduled to visit Inida for the BRICS Summit. However, his visit was cancelled. Earlier this month, Bangladesh's State Minister for Foreign Affairs Humaiun Kobir said that Bangladesh wanted to “reset” its relationship with India and build a new bilateral engagement based on mutual interests. Kobir’s remarks came two days after Bangladesh cancelled Rahman's visit to India. Dhaka said that Rahman's would not attend the BRICS Summit in India, as he was not invited in his capacity as Bangladesh’s prime minister. Relations between India and Bangladesh have remained strained after New Delhi provided refuge to ousted Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina, who fled to India after being ousted in a youth-led agitation in August 2024. Kobir had said Bangladesh should move beyond what he called an “excessive preoccupation” with India and adopt a more balanced approach focused on mutual interests. “We have to get out of the India fascination. India is just another country, and Bangladesh wants good bilateral relations with it,” he had added. Hasina was sentenced to death in absentia by a special tribunal in Bangladesh in November 2025 over alleged “crimes against humanity” during the crackdown on protesters in 2024. Dhaka has since been seeking her extradition from India. New Delhi has said the extradition request is being examined in accordance with applicable law and established legal procedures.
