In rare call to Hasina, Imran urges closer ties with Bangladesh
187
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday expressed his desire for “closer and fraternal” relations with Bangladesh.
Mr Khan, in what was his first telephone conversation with his Bangladesh counterpart Hasina Wajed, said: “Pakistan is committed to deepening fraternal relations with Bangladesh on the basis of mutual trust, mutual respect and sovereign equality.”
The telephone contact has come after months of efforts to normalise ties between the two South Asian countries after years of deep freeze.
Islamabad’s initiative for mending fences with Dhaka was launched after current high commissioner Imran Siddiqui assumed office in February this year.
Observers were caught by surprise when Mr Siddiqui earlier this month met Bangladesh’s Foreign Minister A.K. Abdul Momen.
Pak-Bangladesh relationship took a nosedive after Ms Wajed started her second tenure as the prime minister in 2009 and she resumed the so-called 1971 trial of the ‘war crimes’.
Pakistan has always considered the bitter past of the 1971 dismemberment as a closed chapter in view of the tripartite agreement signed in April 1974 for repatriation of war prisoners.
Ms Wajed’s father and Bangladesh’s founding father Mujibur Rehman had after the accord agreed that in the interest of regional peace, no one would be put on trial for alleged crimes committed during the 1971 war.
But, Ms Wajed was bent on reviving the ghosts of 1971. She was further emboldened with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s coming to power in India and Pak-Bangladesh ties went from one low to another.
The contact between the two prime ministers also comes in the backdrop of Delhi-Dhaka ties turning lukewarm following the enactment of controversial Citizenship Amendment Act by India last year. Moreover, growing Chinese influence on Dhaka has also brought Pakistan and Bangladesh closer.
Mr Khan, in his conversation, underscored the importance Pakistan attached to closer ties with Bangladesh and highlighted the significance of regular bilateral contacts and people-to-people exchanges.
He also reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to Saarc and underlined the importance of both countries working for enhanced regional cooperation for sustainable peace and prosperity.
Mr Khan discussed Pakistan and Bangladesh’s fight against Covid-19 pandemic and extended commiserations on the material and human losses due to the recent flooding in Bangladesh.
He reiterated the invitation to Prime Minister Wajed to visit Pakistan, the PMO said.

Yes, now Bangladesh is in position to help Pakistan in economic development, Education, Industrialization, cotton goods manufacturing, police reform. But I am pretty sure Bangladesh will never do this. Pakistan State Bank reserves are about $8 Billion, whereas Bangladesh have $34 Billions. Bangladesh is second biggest exporter of cotton goods after China, however not a cotton producing country. Pakistan producing cotton but no use at all.

Better late than never....IK has taken right action! After all with all what has gone under the bridge, Bangladesh is our brother! We have more in common than divide us! I hope Haseena can see the light.

We can expect India to start its well versed divide and rule machinery to ensure pakistan and Bangladesh relationships don’t improve. They have done same with Afghanistan. Muslims must rise above to see their folly! India’s treatment of minorities and Muslims by BJP and its close defence relationship, with Israelis a stark reminder Modhi and BJP RSS mob are anti Muslim.

@Asim, it takes 2 to tango...our opposition parties have been enemies of the state and guilty of working with enemies of the state not to mention stripping country of wealth to invest abroad!

@Zack Robins, we need to move on and not live in the past. Our enemy is real and working very hard, we need to be decisive in our strategy which must start with fellow Muslims countries.

@Saad, I agree we have no option, but to bury our troubled passed. Pakistan and Bangladesh are brothers lost in time but time has come to unite.

How can friendship with a financially and morally bankrupt country help Bangladesh? Especially when the Country in question was instrumental in bleeding Bangladesh when it was East Pakistan?
