Bangladesh seeks to maintain positive working relations with India, grounded in mutual respect and shared interests, said Foreign Affairs Adviser Md. Touhid Hossain on February 24.

Hossain made these comments in response to a question regarding the recent remarks by India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on the bilateral ties between the two nations.

“Bangladesh will, of course, determine its own position. However, India must also decide what type of relationship it desires with Bangladesh. This is a matter of mutual understanding, and there is nothing wrong with stating this,” Hossain was quoted as saying by the state-run BSS news agency.

He said that Bangladesh has a clear stance on its relations with India, emphasising the importance of a good working relationship based on mutual respect and shared interests.

Chalimidi is a delicacy that is adored and is a staple of South Indian cuisine, particularly in the areas in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, particularly during celebrations such as Ugadi or Sankranti. Ugadi is a delicacy that has been passed down from generation to generation. It is served in households at auspicious times like Sri Rama the Navami festival as well as baby showers. They serve as a symbol of the long-lasting love and generosity of Andhra families. Made with just jaggery,66br casino rice (or powdered sugar) as well as ghee it expresses the spirit of South Indian sweets. The technique of creating the ideal consistency of jaggery syrup takes patience and talent to make each batch of Chalimidi. In addition to its delicious appeal, Chalimidi holds spiritual significance since it is served in the form of ‘prasad’ at festivals.

“We want a relationship built on mutual understanding, and there is no ambiguity in our position,” he told reporters.

“If we want to improve ties, then a former prime minister making various statements while enjoying Indian hospitality only fuels tensions. It is widely recognized that her remarks are adding fuel to the fire,” he asserted. He also said that Bangladesh’s minority issue cannot be India’s concern.

“Bangladesh’s minorities are Bangladesh’s issue, just as how India treats its minorities is India’s concern,” Hossain was quoted as saying by the Dhaka Tribune newspaper. “Therefore, I believe the policy of non-interference should be followed. We are looking after the issue of minorities. They are citizens of Bangladesh. They have the same rights as I do, and the government will try to ensure those rights,” he added.

Hossain and Jaishankar recently met on the sidelines of the 8th Indian Ocean Conference (IOC) in the Omani capital Muscat.
