Bangladesh has reiterated the importance of resolving outstanding bilateral issues with Pakistan, including offering of an official apology from Pakistan for the genocide it committed during Bangladesh's Liberation War in 1971, reports UNB.

Dhaka also sought completion of the repatriation of Pakistanis stranded in Bangladesh, and settling the issue of the division of assets.

State minister for foreign affairs Md Shahriar Alam raised the issues when newly appointed high commissioner of Pakistan to Bangladesh Imran Ahmed Siddiqui met him on Thursday.

The state minister cordially welcomed the high commissioner and highlighted that enhancing relations with all neighbouring countries was a foreign policy priority of the government.

"In line with that spirit, we look forward to engaging with Pakistan," he said.

Shahriar also urged Pakistan to grant access to more Bangladeshi products by utilizing the existing SAFTA provisions, relaxing the negative list and removing trade barriers.

The current trade balance tilts towards Pakistan.
High commissioner Siddiqui conveyed the very best wishes of the people and the government of Pakistan to the state minister and said he would give due diligence to advancing bilateral relations in every possible area of cooperation.
Both sides agreed on the need to hold the long-pending Foreign Office Consultations, which was last held in 2010.

The state minister assured the high commissioner of all cooperation and assistance during his tenure in Dhaka.

pls ask india for apology for creating mukhti and rapping bengali women

Pakistan must mature up and understand there’s no harm in apology. Bangladesh is a reality that Pakistan can’t do anything about, and it’s thriving and has no need for Pakistan.

There is no question that Pakistani forces committed atrocities in 1971 and prior. There’s no shame in apologizing for those crimes. Countries much stronger than Pakistan have apologized for similar crimes.

Ah really ? Is Pakistan also suffering from supa power & land of milk and honey delusion like India ? Nice !

Don’t mind the jingoistic and delusional members on this forum.

They think foreign policy and relations between countries is the same as the relations between neighbors. Actually, Pakistan’s foreign policy is also the same. Their press releases and comments read like quarrels between husband and wife or between neighbors.

Bangladesh does not need Pakistan. It’a the other way around and the sooner Pakistanis understand this, the better for them and their mental health.

Mukti Bahini wasn't created by India . It was created by the Rebel part of Pakistan armed forces named East Bengal Regiment . Period.

 

[nahtanbob]

What kind of Official Apology ?? Bangladesh Govt also need to apologise to Pakistan for mass killing Bihari's and their own army and countrymen

Mushttaf already sent it 20 years ago from our side

Musharraf apology to Bangladesh

Has Pakistan taken back all its citizens who supported Pakistan during the civil war ? You cannot ask for an apology for people you do not care about.

 

[Thamizh Puli]

this is a great idea. It will demonstrate that Pakistan has grown up to start taking responsibility for its mistakes. It doesn't cost any money which they cannot afford but it will help clear their own conscience a little bit

 

[bluesky]

Its a tiny over populated country, with no geo strategic or economical importance. If Afghanistan has said the same for whatever reasons, I would have supported as it does effect Pakistan.

You remain an almost half educated person without any knowledge of geopolitics. BD is located in between three economic groups. One is China, the other is India and the 3rd one is ASEAN. If these groups want to bring down the transport costs for their export goods they will have to use railroads or highways that go through Bangladesh. So, why do you think BD has no geopolitical importance?

BD is like Turkey that lies between Europe, Russia and Asian countries. While Turkey is surrounded by Muslim countries who continuously fight each other and also surrounded by Greece that does not like Turkey trade go via its territory, BD is surrounded by three large economic powerhouses of the present and future.

Now, let us hear a few words from you about the geopolitical importance of your great country, please!!!

bangladesh doesn't have a border with China so it will be hard for it to be located between China. Which ASEAN countries does bangaldesh have a border with?

I'll say this again, Bangladesh and Pakistan were never meant to be together. If we gotta blame someone, it's the Brits for making this mess in the first place. Stupid c**nts

Nice speech but wrong. Turns out my country has been feeding even y'all for a long time; but for the OBL duplicity that exposed your game we'd probably be still sending more aid. We stopped but then You found the next pocket to put the touch on quite quickly. Now that is hopefully clear to you, so get back to the apology business

 

[KaiserX]

Bengalis should apologize for 1971 and reenter the Federation of Pakistan, only then can they be forgiven for the traitorous actions of their fathers.

They won't because they have a high GDP (Germany and UK are jealous now) and legalized prostitution.

But I hope that Bangladesh and Pakistan will become one country again. The younger generation is different and we will see change inshallah.

Imagine how foreigners must feel watching poor Pakistanis/Bengalis debating over who has 10 cents more

 

[H!TchHiker]

I think musharaf did apologize ...and if PM hasina asked officaly I think they will get another apology ...consider the eagerness on our side to have better relations

 

[-blitzkrieg-]

We aren't ruled by Hindu India. Yes India pushed us to some awkward position , our politics are controlled by India in some extend , but the real place and that is our defence force is completely without the influence of India . So I don't think we have to be worried about this , at least not yet

So you are waiting to be hit by the train.
