Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Dinesh Trivedi met US Ambassador to Bangladesh Brent T Christensen at the Indian High Commission in Dhaka on Thursday morning.
A diplomatic source confirmed the meeting to Jugantor, although details of the discussions between the two diplomats were not immediately known.
The meeting comes amid renewed tensions in Bangladesh-India relations, particularly over Dhaka’s demand for the extradition of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, who has been staying in India since August 5, 2024, following her ouster.
Bangladesh has repeatedly urged India to return Hasina to face legal proceedings in the country. Meanwhile, Hasina has announced that she intends to return to Bangladesh in December.
Christensen assumed office as the US ambassador to Bangladesh on January 12 this year, while Trivedi took charge as India’s high commissioner in June.
The meeting between the two diplomats comes at a significant time for regional diplomacy, as Bangladesh and India continue to navigate sensitive bilateral issues.
The agenda and outcome of Thursday’s meeting have not been officially disclosed.
