There is intense discussion regarding the swearing in of the new Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Tariq Rahman. PM Narendra Modi has received the invitation, but due to the busyness of 17th February, it is expected that the senior representative from India will leave.
New Delhi: After major changes in the politics of Bangladesh, now everyone’s eyes are on the swearing-in ceremony of the new Prime Minister. Discussion has intensified in India also regarding the swearing in of the next Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Tariq Rahman. The biggest question is whether Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself will go to Bangladesh on this special occasion or a senior representative from India will be present there.
PM Modi received official invitation
According to the information received, an official invitation has been sent to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the swearing-in ceremony to be held in Dhaka on February 17. This message reached Indian officials from Dhaka late Saturday night. It is being told that the Bangladesh government has planned to send invitations not only to India but also to the heads of state and government of many other countries to attend the event.
Busyness of 17th February became a big reason
However, considering the current situation, the possibility of Prime Minister Modi going to Bangladesh is considered very less. The biggest reason for this is his important international program already scheduled for 17th February. On the same day, an important meeting of Prime Minister Modi with French President Emmanuel Macron is proposed. President Macron is going to visit India next week and will participate in the AI Impact Summit.
Importance of AI Impact Summit
AI Impact Summit is being said to be the biggest edition till date. In this summit, there will be in-depth discussion on issues like Artificial Intelligence, Technology and global cooperation. This conference is considered very important for India from both strategic and economic point of view. In such a situation, it seems difficult for Prime Minister Modi to leave this program and go to Dhaka.
Why are there less hopes of going to Dhaka?
According to reports quoting experts related to the matter, there is little hope of Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Dhaka. The Indian government also does not want to show too much speed in new political equations with Bangladesh. Especially when the stance and policies of the new government are yet to be fully understood.
Then who will go to Bangladesh from India?
If Prime Minister Modi himself does not attend the swearing-in ceremony, India is likely to send a senior representative. It has been indicated in the report that a senior leader of the level of Vice President or Foreign Minister can represent India. This will send a message that India values relations with Bangladesh, but wants to proceed with balance and caution.
Policy of balance in India-Bangladesh relations
Relations between India and Bangladesh have always been strategic and sensitive. After the formation of the new government, India will try not to take any major steps in haste. Tariq Rahman has already talked about the ‘Bangladesh First’ policy, which emphasizes balanced relations with all neighboring countries. In such a situation, India also wants to take its steps thoughtfully.
To which countries the invitation was sent
Bangladesh wants to make this swearing-in ceremony important at the international level. According to the information, there is a plan to send invitations to the leaders of most of the member countries of South Asian Organization for Regional Cooperation SAARC. Apart from this, heads of state or government of friendly countries like China, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye can also be called.
