Overview

  • The Bangladesh High Commission said Khalilur Rahman and Ajit Doval discussed the Colombo Security Conclave agenda and key bilateral issues, and Rahman invited Doval to visit Dhaka.
  • Officials and reports described the encounter as the highest-level security engagement between the neighbors since the interim government took office in August 2024.
  • India’s foreign ministry said it has noted the Hasina verdict and will engage constructively in the interests of the Bangladeshi people, stopping short of endorsing extradition.
  • Bangladesh formally requested Hasina’s extradition under the bilateral treaty after the International Crimes Tribunal issued a death sentence, which she has denounced as politically motivated.
  • The 7th CSC NSA meeting in New Delhi brings together India, Maldives, Mauritius and Sri Lanka, with Seychelles as observer and Malaysia as guest, to review cooperation pillars and shape the 2026 roadmap.
