New Delhi: Bangladesh's Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman met his Indian counterpart Subrahmanyam Jaishankar in New Delhi on Wednesday, marking the most senior visit by a Dhaka envoy since the 2024 revolution ousted India's long time ally Sheikh Hasina.

The "goodwill visit" is expected to cover issues including extradition, trade, water sharing, and border security, according to Bangladesh's state news agency BSS. Jaishankar said he was "pleased to host" Rahman and that they discussed strengthening bilateral ties.

Relations have improved since Tarique Rahman, leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, won a landslide election victory in February. Bangladesh is also expected to seek greater energy supplies from India as it grapples with the impact of the Middle East war.
