The leaders met on sidelines of BIMSTEC summit. Yunus last week provoked New Delhi with statement that Bangladesh ‘only guardian’ of ocean in region as India’s Northeast ‘landlocked’.
The two countries agreed to discuss establishing a ‘strategic dialogue’ between their security agencies. This comes a day before a meeting of BIMSTEC leaders.
The first bilateral meet between Modi & Yunus is set to take place in Bangkok on the margins of the BIMSTEC leaders summit. Dhaka is set to become chair of the regional grouping.
At BIMSTEC ministerial meeting, the EAM highlights the importance of India’s Northeast for the region, in the wake of Yunus’s ‘ocean guardian’ remark for Bangladesh in China.
PM Modi’s visit to Thailand this week for the BIMSTEC Summit and bilateral talks offers a chance to build on deep-rooted ties and explore new areas of cooperation.
This is the game every nation is now learning to play. Some are finding new allies or seeing value among nations where they’d seen marginal interest. The starkest example is India & Europe.
