The fifth round of Bangladesh-India consular dialogue, scheduled to be held in Dhaka on November 17-18, has reportedly been postponed amid fresh tensions over former prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s request for a new passport and National Identity Card (NID).
Diplomatic sources said the decision to postpone the director-general-level talks had been taken following the latest developments surrounding Hasina’s request.
The two countries had planned to discuss border management, visa services, repatriation of detained nationals, the release and repatriation of fishermen, and mutual legal assistance during the meeting.
The consular dialogue process began in 2017, and four rounds have been held so far. The latest took place in New Delhi in May 2024.
