The next round of consular dialogue between Bangladesh and India has been postponed amid growing diplomatic tensions between the two countries over the issue of ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
The fifth round of director-general-level talks between the foreign ministries of the two countries was scheduled to take place in Dhaka on November 17 and 18, according to a diplomatic source.
However, the two sides have decided to defer the meeting in view of recent diplomatic tensions surrounding bilateral relations, the source said.
The postponement comes at a time when relations between Dhaka and New Delhi remain strained over several issues, including Sheikh Hasina’s presence in India following her removal from power.
No revised date for the consular dialogue has been announced yet.
