Key India-Bangladesh meet, invite to Ajit Doval amid Sheikh Hasina extradition efforts

A press release by the Bangladesh government said that the counterparts discussed key "bilateral issues" and the functioning of the Colombo Security Conclave. Besides, NSA Ajit Doval was invited to visit Bangladesh "at his convenience".

According to news agency ANI, this meeting is the highest-level security engagement since the interim government led by Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus assumed office in Bangladesh.

The meeting comes just days after the Bangladesh's foreign ministry in a statement urged India to extradite “fugitive accused” Sheikh Hasina, who has been in exile in India since her ouster as prime minister in August 2024.
