Bangladesh will “maintain balanced relations with India, China and the US” while “protecting our own interests”, foreign affairs adviser Md Touhid Hossain said Wednesday, reports Ahsan Tasnim. He said Bangladesh’s relations with major countries are not tied to specific govts, and there would be no significant changes in Dhaka-Washington relations after Donald Trump begins his second term as US president.
“We have nothing to speculate,” Hossain said, expressing optimism about smooth ties with the US. He, however, acknowledged that the new administration might make remarks upon assuming office, which “we will address accordingly”.
