DHAKA: India will resume issuing tourist visas in neighbouring Bangladesh, its envoy to Dhaka said Thursday, nearly two years after relations soured when New Delhi’s ally Sheikh Hasina was overthrown.
India’s new high commissioner to Bangladesh, Dinesh Trivedi, told reporters that tourist visa processing would resume on June 28.
“We hope this will further strengthen people-to-people ties between our two sovereign nations,” Trivedi said.
Relations between the neighbours have been strained since the August 2024 uprising.
Hasina has been in hiding in India ever since she fled the revolt, and Bangladesh has repeatedly requested her extradition. She has been sentenced to death in absentia in Dhaka.
