However, like many changes after the end of Sheikh Hasina’s government, there are talks about changing the relations between the two countries.
If we look at the history of 1971, the relationship between Bangladesh and Pakistan has always been a sensitive topic. During the tenure of Hasina Wajid’s Awami League, relations between the two countries worsened, especially in the context of war crimes cases. However, like many changes after the end of Sheikh Hasina’s government, there are talks about changing the relationship between the two countries and recently an organization in Bangladesh called on September 11, the founder of Pakistan Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Anniversary was also celebrated. So, will there be any change in the diplomacy of Bangladesh regarding Pakistan? How much interest does Pakistan have in Bangladesh and how can Bangladesh benefit from better relations with Pakistan ?
Like many countries, Pakistan also congratulated Professor Muhammad Younis on his appointment as Chief Advisor. Pakistan Embassy in Bangladesh is also very active. The High Commissioner of Pakistan posted in Bangladesh met with the advisers of the present government. Apart from this, he also met the leaders of Khaleda Zia’s party Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed his interest in further strengthening bilateral relations in a conversation with Bangladesh’s Interim Chief Prof. Mohammad Younis.
Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, Spokesperson of Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told BBC Bangla that Pakistan has always preferred a positive and constructive stance towards Bangladesh. He said that there have been problems at times, but when there is a desire to overcome these problems and advance relations, we can achieve all the goals of moving forward in mutual interest. Faham Abdul Salam, a famous writer of Bangladesh, believes that in the last 15 years, the government of Bangladesh has seen the relations with Pakistan from the eyes of India and the relations between the two countries have been revolving around the date of 1971.
