Bangladesh Foreign Adviser Urges Balanced Relations with India, China, and US

Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain stated on Saturday that Bangladesh must navigate a delicate balance in its foreign relations with major powers like India, China, and the United States, given its non-dominant position on the global stage. Speaking at a national dialogue hosted by the Forum for Bangladesh Studies at the Krishibid Institute Bangladesh, he underscored the necessity for Bangladesh to maintain cordial ties with all three nations, citing India’s trade relations with China and its friendly ties with the U.S. as examples.

Hossain highlighted the importance of unity, drawing parallels with Bangladesh’s fight for independence in 1971, which was achieved through national unity against Pakistan. He noted ongoing unity in the country, particularly during the Liberation War, despite some historical divisions. He also mentioned the public’s unity in response to student movements, which he said fostered a more open environment.

Discussing political responsibilities, Hossain emphasized that political parties should uphold democratic values. He argued that a strong democracy would prioritize the interests of the masses. He expressed optimism that the elected government would meet public expectations by fostering unity in governance.

On the Rohingya issue, Hossain discussed Bangladesh’s participation in a six-nation consultation in Bangkok, led by Thai Foreign Minister Maris Sangiampongsa. He emphasized that Bangladesh’s interests, particularly regarding the repatriation of Rohingyas, must be addressed. He was clear that without peace in Myanmar, regional stability would remain elusive, and stressed the need for Myanmar and regional powers to facilitate a safe return for the Rohingyas.

At the dialogue, Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus also spoke on the importance of unity, reforms, and elections for Bangladesh’s progress. He argued that these elements are interlinked and essential for the country’s advancement. Yunus also advocated for lowering the voting age to 17, highlighting the interest of young people in shaping their future.
